Nigerian superstar singer, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has unfollowed his logistics manager, Isreal DMW, on Instagram.
This comes after Isreal apologized to the Muslim community on Davido’s behalf over a controversial video he had posted
A few days ago, Davido used his Twitter page to share a teaser of a music video promoting his new signee, Logos Olori.
The music video for the song ‘Jaye Lo’ generated significant outrage among Nigerian Muslims due to its content, which featured men dressed in Jalamiya, an Islamic attire, engaging in prayer and dancing in front of a mosque. Many perceived the video as a disrespectful portrayal of their religion and expressed strong criticism towards Davido for its creation.
In the face of mounting criticism, Davido eventually succumbed to pressure and removed the video from his social media platforms without offering an apology.
To address the concerns of the offended Muslim community, Davido’s aide, Isreal DMW, took to his Instagram story to issue an apology on behalf of his boss. Isreal DMW clarified that the ‘Jaye Lo’ video was intended purely for entertainment purposes but was unfortunately presented in a manner that caused offense. He went on to express his love and respect for all Muslims.
“Let me specially apologize to my Muslim brothers and sisters for the video my oga posted. It was an entertainment effort that was wrongly presented. Please don’t be upset. Love you all,” he wrote.
Following this, a check on Davido’s Instagram page revealed that he has unfollowed Isreal. However, the reason for the unfollowing remains unclear
