Davido ignited outrage on Saturday after tweeting a new music video for Logos Olori, which was met with harsh criticism, particularly from Muslims who found the content “offensive and disrespectful” to their religion.
The video showed a group of men dressed in white ‘jalamiya’ praying before transitioning into dancing in front of a mosque.
He wrote; “Allow me to re-introduce, @logosori with his new single “Jaye Lo”… Lets Run It Up one time! Let’s take over the world.”
His tweet, however, did not go over well with Muslim believers since the video’s content was deemed disrespectful to Islam. Many swore to cease downloading his tracks, while others threatened to mete out justice themselves if he did not remove the video and apologize.
Ali Nuhu also took to his Instagram page to express his disapproval and urged the singer to delete the video amd apologize immediately.
He wrote;
“I just came across the controversial video posted by @davido, as much we want to be creative in our various fields we should learn to respect other people’s religion, culture and tradition. This is totally unacceptable in Islam. You should pull down that video and apologize for hurting the entire Muslim ummah.”
