Davido has drawn heavy criticism online for an act that Muslims believe shows extreme disrespect for Muslims and Islam.
The singer sparked outrage when he posted a music video called “Jaye lo” by his signee, Logos Olori, on Twitter.
The video shows Logos Olori singing from the top of a building while Muslims below observe prayers.
See the video below;
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

@Daniel Regha wrote: “Davido should delete that Jaye Lo video & apologize to Muslims as an act of respect; It’s common knowledge that the mosque is a sacred place, plus Muslims don’t condone any act/behavior that goes against their faith. Creativity is fine, but respect people’s religion & cultures.”
