The new music video ‘Jaye Lo’ by Logos Olori, who is part of Davido Music Worldwide (DMW), has faced significant criticism, particularly from Muslims who found it offensive and disrespectful to their religion.
After releasing the video, Davido, the head of DMW, shared a short clip on Twitter, showing people praying and dancing in front of a mosque, while encouraging his fans to stream the song.
Davido received criticism from Muslim fans for posting this video on his social media platforms because some Muslims found the scenes shot in a mosque-like setting to be offensive.

Muslim reacting to the video
Bashir Ahmad, a popular Muslim influencer, explained in several tweets why the video could be seen as offensive.
He emphasized that Muslims consider their religion, especially Salah (prayer), to be sacred and not something to be joked about or mixed with entertainment.
The music video faced backlash from Muslims who felt that using a mosque-like scene for dancing and prayer in the video was disrespectful to their religious beliefs, which consider prayer to be a sacred and serious matter.
They expressed their concerns to Davido through social media platforms.

The gospel-based artiste urged that concerts or shows organized by secular musicians such as Davido, Rema, Wizkid and others are not spiritually inclined therefore, a true believer should not attend.
Joshua argued that any Christian who is filled with the Holy Spirit would understand and know when to set boundaries, while others may not.
