Have you watched popstar, David Adeleke
aka Davido’ s latest video, ‘Fans Mi ’
featuring American rapper, Meek Mill?
Then you will agree that no child under the
age of 18 should see it.
Even though music videos have since been
reduced to nothing more than scantily-
dressed ladies shaking their butts, and the
glorification of drunkenness, Davido’s
video pushes the boundary of decency.
From the first view, one’s eyes are assailed
by lots of cash displayed on a table with
several types of guns.
As if that is not bad enough, nearly Unclad
girls are spotted dancing raunchily in
almost every scene of the video.
The story-line of the video is worse. Davido
tries to seal a deal with a drug dealer to
supply cocaine while the dealer hands him
cases of dollars for the transaction.
Davido then goes back to his mansion
where he can be seen aided by the
brassieres-and-panties flaunting ladies
preparing the cocaine.
It is not until the end of the video that we
get to see that the cocaine Davido delivered
to the drug dealer was only semovita (a
local Nigerian food).
We must ask though: what is he trying to
teach his fans who are largely made up of
impressionable youths?
That it is okay to engage in the sale of illicit
drugs to make money? Or that guns are
now suddenly ‘cool’ toys to have?
