On Saturday, Afrobeats star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, sparked outrage on social media after posting a video on Twitter that some of his followers considered disrespectful to Islam.
Davido in the tweet accompanying the video had said: “Allow me to re-introduce, @logosori with his new single “Jaye Lo”… AllowRun It Up one time! Let’s take over the world.”This is an absolute disgrace, veritably asleep and discourteous to my religion and the deification of my creator. These celebrities warrant character and a sense of judgment, no wonder the so-called titleholders of a new Nigeria who placed their expedients in these empty-headed and asleep personalities won’t achieve anything but continued division and abomination amongst Nigerians.
Bashir Ahmad @BashirAhmaad, a former aide to ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, said: There are many reasons why every Muslim finds this content absolutely disrespectful, hurtful, and offensive @davido. “I assume you all know that we Muslims don’t mix our religion with jokes in any way, especially Salah (prayer), which is sacred and the second of the five pillars of Islam.
“In Salah, Muslims remember our Lord, Allah, express our love and respect for Him, and invoke and strive to express our gratitude towards Him. The notion is that the Salah activity brings the individual face-to-face with God.
“That is what we believe, and that is our faith. Please respect it. No Muslim will find it as an honor or acceptable.
