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 Unclad 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?
