See Gobe: Davido In NDLEA Trouble Over New Video“Fans Mi”

We are investigating him, says agency.
Multiple award winner and
international act, Davido, is in trouble
with the National Drug Law
Enforcement Agency(NDLEA) over his new song/video titled ‘Fans mi'.
NDLEA is currently investigating
Davido (real name DavidAdeleke)
for showcasing hard drugs in the
video featuring Maybach music
artist, Meek Mill.  The video which
has gone viral since it was released
earlier this month, Davido is seen
discussing with an unidentified man
as they haggle over a briefcase of
dollars and a bag full of parcels of
hard drugs. There are also lewd
scenes in the video.
The song is supposed to promote the Omo Baba Olowo crooner’s gratitude and appreciation to his fans for their love and support towards his career
over the years.
However, the singer was busy
singing about his enemies and
money, showcasing hard drugs,
Unclothedness and guns in the
video.
Some fans have expressed
dissatisfaction over the song/video,
claiming the talented singer should
have done better by showing
pictures of his fans, his past shows
and encounters with fans, rather
than the display of hard drugs,
Unclothedness and guns. In an
emailed comment to Sunday
Telegraph, NDLEA’s Head of Public
Affairs, Mr. Mitchell Ofoyeju, said,
“The agency considers the musical
video ‘Fans Mi’ inappropriate and
indecent. It has the tendency to
negatively influence and induce
drug use and trafficking.
Besides, it is counter-productive on
the campaign against drug
production, trafficking and abuse.
The agency is investigating the
matter and will take necessary
action.” Also speaking, popular
music video critics, Mrs. Nuella
O’Peters, said, “It’s really outrageous
seeing a brand ambassador and a
mentor to millions of African youths
indulging in such acts. He even went
as far as using the substance for
cooking in the video.
Can you imagine! It’s uncalled for.
I do hope the Nigeria Broadcasting
Corporation will do something about
the video.” Davido is a song writer,
performer and a recording artiste
from Nigeria. He recently postponed
the release of his highly anticipated
album on his birthday.
