Afrobeat singer, Davido has fallen under heavy critics following a music video he posted on his verified Twitter account.
The singer sparked outrage when he posted a music video called “Jaye lo” by his signee, Logos Olori, on Twitter.
In the video, worshipers can be seen observing salah while Logos Olori sings sitting on top of the building.
This sparked a flurry of irate responses from online users. They have formally asked Davido to remove the offending video and apologize.

Dear Davido, for the benefits of doubt, we will assume you do not know that Muslims hold the obligatory prayers sacred and it’s totally prohibited to joke or play with the prayers. Please kindly take it down and apologize to all Muslims for this grave mistake https://t.co/GphtWHhaUX

Creativity is fine, but respect people’s religion & cultures.”
