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

The 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 urged fans to stream the song.

“Allow me to re-introduce @logosolori with his new single “Jaye Lo.”… Let's Run It Up one more time! Let’s take over the world! We Litty,” he tweeted.

However, his tweet didn’t sit well with Muslim faithful, who immediately asked him to take down the video and tender an apology as the content of the video was offensive to the Islamic religion.

Here is the Daily Post’s compilation of some of the reactions:

Bashir Ahmad, a former aide to the immediate past president, Muhammadu Buhari, wrote, “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.

“No Muslim will find it an honor or acceptable.”

One Engr. Yasir Arafat Jubril wrote, “This is disgusting! Disrespectful and disgraceful, to say the least! As a seasoned musician, you should know how to guide your signee on lines not to cross. Take this down immediately and tender an unreserved apology to the Muslim Ummah.”

Social media influencer Daniel Regha wrote, “Davido should delete that Jaye Lo video and apologize to Muslims as an act of respect. It’s common knowledge that the mosque is a sacred place, plus Muslims don’t condone any act or behavior that goes against their faith. Creativity is fine, but respect people’s religions and cultures.”

One Kem Patriot wrote, “Osun State chose a state governor whose family spits on the religion of others; that was why the governor had the effrontery to try to destabilize the Eid Day Prayers.

Since that wasn’t enough disrespect to the religion, you and his nephew went ahead to denigrate a pillar of Islam that we hold sacred: our prayers.

“@davido This is outright disrespectful to the religion of Islam, and I hope you will find a better inspiration for your videos outside of getting people outraged!”
