According to the Nigerian newspaper New Telegraph, afrobeats
superstar Davido, whose real name is David Adeleke, is under
investigation by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA). The
superstar is under fire for showcasing hard drugs in his latest video
called “Fans Mi” that features American rapper Meek Mill. Davido’s video
was recently in the news for a different reason.
The “Fans Mi” song is intended to promote Davido’s appreciation
towards his fans for their love and support over the years. The
music video however, appears to be more about the singer’s money and
enemies than about his fans. Davido’s video also shows drugs, lightly
dressed women and guns. One particular scene might even get the artist
in trouble: Davido is seen discussing with a man as they exchange
a briefcase full of dollars for a bag of hard drugs. According to the
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.”
