Davido In NDLEA Trouble Over “Fans Mi” Video Featuring Meek Mill

We are investigating him, says agency
Multiple award winner and
international act, Davido, is in trouble
with the National Drug Law
Enforcement Agency over his new
song/video titled ‘Fans mi.’
NDLEA is currentlyinvestigating
Davido (real name DavidAdeleke)
for showcasing hard drugs in the
video featuring Maybach Group
artist,Meek Mill. In 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.
