Davido has been trending on social media over the portrayal of Islam in his signee’s music video.
On Friday, Olori, one of Davido’s newly signed artistes, released his debut single ‘Jaye Lo’ along with a music video.
Just after the release, Davido tweeted to promote the song on his page.
The video features Muslims observing Salah, their sacred prayer while Olori is seen sitting on the roof of a mosque.
This has sparked several reactions on social media, especially on Twitter.
Some conservatives have condemned Davido for allowing the video to be released.
Others registered their concern about the idea of associating Islam with secular music.
However, the liberals do not see anything wrong with it.
One notable critic, Bashir Ahmad, who is a former aide to Muhammadu Buhari, took to Twitter on Saturday and argued that the content is disrespectful and offensive to Muslims.
He also urged the singer to respect Salah, stating that no Muslim would find it honourable or acceptable.
“That is our faith. Please respect it. No Muslim will find it honourable or acceptable,” he wrote.
Davido is yet to respond to the criticisms but commentaries have continued to pour in.
Below are some other reactions on Twitter.
May the wrath of Allah be fall everyone involved in this. https://t.co/Ug5Rx9nThY

Wallahilazim when you go through the quotes of davido’s tweet, you will know these Christians hate you, your religion and the God you serve. Ku cigaba da musu rawar jiki, they will never ever ever love you!

Your Politicians do all manner of evil and unspeakable things and you willingly accept them without saying pim but here you're asking someone who has done nothing wrong to publicly apologize.
With due respect, @davido will do no such thing. Thank you https://t.co/pwTlbC0liW

Buhari finished the North, there was no outcry. Terrorists and bandits are taking their lives and properties, they didn't invoke the wrath of Allah. Tinubu renewed their subscription to suffering, it's Allah's will
…but davido posted a song, and they want to fight for Allah 🤣

“Religion of peace” yet they burnt Deborah to death! Deborah’s killers were her coursemates and hostel mates. Do you know how dark your heart can be for you to set fire to your fellow hostel mate? And Davido’s new artist video is where you draw the line? YOU DEY CRAZE.
Why do…

This is the right time for Islamic clerics to weaponize their Arsenals in their pulpits regarding @davido’s unapologetic contempt. They should call for a mass dismissal of his image. But sadly, most of them see value in fighting each other on Aqidah and sectarian differences.

Davido is an agent of the West like many other musicians around the world. he's being payed for this directly or indirectly. I urge all Muslims and Northern bloggers to condemn this act of Islamophobia by Davido. pic.twitter.com/LuXMFolHle

You couldn't cancel POVERTY, CRIMINALITY, TERRORISM, BANDITRY, CHILD MARRIAGE etc,
You want to cancel DAVIDO 🤣🤣🤣🤣..
Misplaced priorities.

I fit cry if Davido takes down this video. I love to see their premium tears over “disrespect” of their so-called religion. These folks loot NG dry, impoverish their own ppl, murder innocent souls unprovoked, yet, always portray themselves as the most religious ppl in NG. Stup!d. https://t.co/bPKkOuoh4h

This is the actual problem in the most northern part of Nigeria – not the music video tweeted by Davido.
The Warth of Allah should start with those who kept these kids in this condition. 👇👇
