‘We Muslims’ trend as Northern Nigerians drag Davido and Logos Olori for being disrespectful about ‘sallah prayer’ in JAYELO music video

‘We Muslims’ trend as Northern Nigerians drag Davido and Logos Olori for being disrespectful about ‘sallah prayer’ in JAYELO music video.

The visuals of Davido Music Worldwide, DMW, act, Logos Olori’s new single ‘Jaye Lo’ has been welcomed with huge criticisms, especially by Muslims who considered the content “offensive and disrespectful” to their religion.

But as soon as the few seconds clip was shared on Davido’s Twitter handle, a number of Muslim apologists, including Bashir Ahmed, former aide to former President Muhammadu Buhari, said the video should be condemned by every right-thinking Muslim, claiming it made a “joke of the religion”.

In his comment, Ahmed 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.”

Another person Tweeted: “This is abhorrence and sacrilegious. Refrain from catching fun with people’s religious sentiments.

DAILY POST reports that the new DMW 2.0 artist released his debut single under the label on Friday, July 21, 2023.

Following the release, DMW boss, Davido took to Twitter to share a short clip of the music video which captured people praying and dancing in front of a mosque, as he urges fans to stream the song.

The video shows Logos Olori sitting atop a building, singing while some worshippers were seen observing salah below.
