The Digital Communications aide to the former President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), Bashir Ahmed, has knocked Davido for allegedly making a mockery of the sacred Muslim prayer.
Davido’s new signee under his record label DMW, Logos Olori, had released a new music video on Friday, July 21.
On Friday, Davido introduced the signee and the video via his Twitter handle.
He wrote, “Allow me to re-introduce,
@logosolori with his new single “Jaye Lo”… Lets Run It Up one time! Let’s take over the world 🌎!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 We Litty 🚀🚀🚀”
In the video, a scene showed some Muslims praying and reciting some Quranic words, afterwards, they began dancing.
According to Ahmed, this is a mockery of something sacred to the Islamic religion.
In a tweet reacting to the video, Ahmed wrote, “There are many reasons why every Muslim finds this content absolutely disrespectful, hurtful and offensive
@davido.
“I assume you all know that we Muslims don’t mix our religion with jokes in any way, especially Salah (prayer), which is sacred and the second of the five pillars of Islam. In Salah, Muslims remember our Lord, Allah, express our love and respect for Him and invoke and strive to express our gratitude towards Him. The notion is that the Salah activity brings the individual face-to-face with God. That is what we believe, and that is our faith. Please respect it.
No Muslim will find it as an honor or acceptable.”
This is not the first time a Muslim or the Muslim community would come after a Nigerian singer for allegedly making a mockery of their religion.
About 3 years ago, popular Afrobeats artist, Falz, was also knocked by the Muslim community for having ladies in hijab (a Muslim covering for the head of ladies) dance to a secular song.
