Popular Nigerian music star, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has reached an agreement to settle out of court, the breach of contract lawsuit filed against him by the Amaju Pinnick-led Brownhill Investment Company Limited.
According to the Cable, the two parties reached a mutual agreement to resolve the issue outside of the courtroom.
The High Court in Delta subsequently approved their request on Thursday.
As part of the agreement reached, Davido has also agreed to pay the claimant N30 million within seven days of finalising the settlement.
This payment serves as a partial contribution towards the claimant’s outstanding legal fees.
As part of a resolution reached outside of court, the defendant has agreed to make a live performance at the upcoming ‘Warri Again’ concert on October 4, 2024.
It was also decided that the $94,500, which the claimant had already paid to the defendants, would be considered as payment for the event’s performance.
In October 2023, Pinnick, a former president of the Nigeria Football Federation, called out Davido for not fulfilling his performance obligations at an event despite receiving $94,600.
