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.
