Nigeria singer and producer, David Adeleke, better known as Davido, has been called out for defying a financial agreement between him and businessman, known as Abusalami.
Abusalami reported that the renowned musician defied the agreement in relation to a children’s project. The complainant claimed he paid Davido the sum of 218 million naira, out of a total project cost of 326 million naira, but that the singer did not fulfil his commitment.
Abusalami explains that the project, which involved young talents from 20 different states, was scheduled but ultimately cancelled by Davido, resulting in a financial loss of 42 million naira for Abusalami.
Abusalami also claimed that he requested Davido to do a commercial about the project, which the singer refused to do. He stressed that the singer went away with his money without delivering the project, labelling Davido as a “thief.”
He also highlighted his own financial difficulties and the potential negative impact on the young players who were supposed to benefit from the project.
Abusalami revealed how the situation pushed him to depression and thought of going suicidal. He said he shelved the thought of taking his own life when he considered the kids who look up to him for help.
Davido has not said anything since the allegations.
