Nigerian pop star, Davido, has reacted to the alleged investigation of his ‘Fans
mi’ video by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA over what
many termed promotion of narcotics, a banned and illegal substance.
Recalled that Vanguard did an exclusive on Why your children should avoid
Davido’s video “Fans Mi”.
In a recent interview with a National daily, the Director of Public Affairs of themi’ video by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA over what
many termed promotion of narcotics, a banned and illegal substance.
Recalled that Vanguard did an exclusive on Why your children should avoid
Davido’s video “Fans Mi”.
NDLEA, Mitchell Ofoyeju, explained that the body has set up an investigative
panel.
‘I am aware that a panel is working on it (the video). The panel was set up
soon after the video was released few weeks ago. When our attention was
drawn to it, we viewed it and we discovered that it was improper. There is no
moral lesson in it and he was just advertising drug trafficking.
‘In the video, he exchanged a brief case supposedly containing narcotics for
dollars. He was displaying affluence in the video. If it (the plot) had climaxed
in an arrest and possible detention, we would have congratulated him for
partnering with us.
‘But the way he portrayed drug trafficking in the video was a means to an end,
which the end is a life of affluence which we disagree with. We are looking at
the issue holistically. We believe that there should be a body that was
supposed to censor videos before they go out.
‘Those are the things we want to investigate and verify. Was the video
submitted for approval? If it was submitted, why was it approved, with such
content?’ Ofoyeju revealed.
The controversial music video, which was shot by Sesan Ogunro and featured
American rapper, Meek Mill, has enjoyed over 1million views on Youtube.
However, Davido seems unfazed by the probe as he replied to a fan’s query
that there is nothing to it.

How can he say there is nothing to it? There is a lot to it.
