Have you watched popstar, David
Adeleke aka Davido’s latest video, ‘Fans Mi’ featuring American rapper, Meek
Mill?
Then you will agree that no child
under the age of 18 should see it. Even though music videos have since been
reduced to nothing more than scantily-dressed ladies shaking their butts, and
the glorification of drunkenness, Davido’s video pushes the boundary of
decency.
From the first view, one’s eyes are
assailed by lots of cash displayed on a table with several types of
guns. As if that is not bad enough, nearly naked girls are spotted
dancing raunchily in almost every scene of the video.
The story-line of the video is
worse. Davido tries to seal a deal with a drug dealer to supply cocaine while
the dealer hands him cases of dollars for the transaction. Davido then goes
back to his mansion where he can be seen aided by the brassieres-and-panties
flaunting ladies preparing the cocaine. It is not until the end of the video
that we get to see that the cocaine Davido delivered to the drug dealer was
only semovita (a local Nigerian food).
We must ask though: what is he
trying to teach his fans who are largely made up of impressionable youths? That
it is okay to engage in the sale of illicit drugs to make money? Or that guns
are now suddenly ‘cool’ toys to have?
