Pop artiste Davido whose recent work
featuring American rapper Meek Mill caught
the attention of the National Drug Laws
Enforcement Agency has said he has not
been invited by the agency to answer any
question.
When the Aye crooner hinted his fans that he
was featuring Mill in his song, Fans mi , many
knew that the song would be a commercial
success. Indeed it became a hit song and
shortly after, a video was shot in America for
the most recent work.
But the video did not go down well with the
authorities of the NDLEA as it claimed it
could incite youths to use hard drugs.
In an exclusive chat with Saturday Beats, the
pop star through his manager, Kamal Ajiboye,
explained that the video was aimed at
promoting African culture through its rich
cuisines like pounded yam and vegetable
soup.
He said that Davido never intended to
promote substance abuse and that the
musician had not been invited by the NDLEA.
“The NDLEA has not got in touch with us. We
heard about the news on the pages of
newspapers. They have neither called nor
invited us over. People just pictured the
video in a negative way. When we wrote the
script for the video, it was not to portray
Davido as a drug trafficker. If they watch the
video till the end, they would notice that we
were selling African lifestyle through our
food. That was our idea of the video. If you
watch it to the end, you would see him eating
pounded yam and vegetable soup. When we
learnt that people thought Davido was using
the video to encourage drug usage, we were
very shocked. We hope that when people
watch it to the end, they would get the
message. Davido is baffled that he is under
investigation by the NDLEA but what would
he do when they have not made any contact
with us? We would keep doing our business
as usual. Not even the police have placed a
call to us, not to talk of the NDLEA before
people would begin to say that we are using
money to influence the situation. They have
to take a step first. As of Wednesday when
Davido was travelling to Durban, we were
hoping that the NDLEA would accost us at
the airport so that we could sort this issue
out, but there was nobody there,” he said.

The video of that song promoted drug abuse more than it promoted African culture.
