Famous Nigerian afrobeats singer, Davido has deleted the much controversial music video of his signee, Logos Olori, after facing intense backlash online.
Davido came under extensive and heavy backlash after he posted a snippet video of his signee’s song ‘Jaye Lo’ which was shot outside a mosque and depicted Muslims observing their Salah prayers.
The 45-second video featured some men wearing white jalabia and caps, and dancing in front of a mosque. Olori also sat on a speaker mounted on the roof of the building. This and the fact that the singer mentioned the word— Alhamdulillah (praise be to God)— did not go down well with some of their fans, especially Muslims, who condemned it.
This had caused many to seethe with displeasure and they wasted no time in calling out the singer over what they considered to be grave disrespect to their religion.
Notable Nigerian celebrities such as Ahmad Bashir, Ali Nuhu have been particularly vocal about this.
While the singer had been relatively silent on the matter and made no formal apology, two days after coming under fire, Davido finally bowed to pressure and deleted the video.
