Multiple award winner and international act, Davido, is in trouble with the National Drug
Law Enforcement Agency over his new song/video titled ‘Fans mi.’ NDLEA is currently
investigating Davido (real name David Adeleke) for showcasing hard drugs in
the video featuring Maybach Group artist, Meek Mill. In the video, which has gone viral
since it was released earlier this month,Davido is seen discussing with an unidentified
man as they haggle over a briefcase of dollars and a bag full of parcels of hard
drugs. There are also lewd scenes in the video.
The song is supposed to promote the Omo Baba Olowo crooner’s gratitude and
appreciation to his fans for their love and support towards his career over the years.
However, the singer was busy singing about his enemies and money, showcasing hard
drugs, Unclothedness and guns in the video.
Some fans have expressed dissatisfaction over the song/video, claiming the talented singer
should have done better by showing pictures of his fans, his past shows and encounters
with fans, rather than the display of hard drugs, Unclothedness and guns. In an emailed
comment to Sunday Telegraph, NDLEA’s Head of Public Affairs, Mr. Mitchell Ofoyeju, said,
“The agency considers the musical video ‘Fans Mi’ inappropriate and indecent. It has the
tendency to negatively influence and induce drug use and trafficking.
Besides, it is counter-productive on the campaign against drug production, trafficking
and abuse. The agency is investigating the matter and will take necessary action.” Also
speaking, popular music video critics, Mrs.Nuella O’Peters, said, “It’s really outrageous
seeing a brand ambassador and a mentor to millions of African youths indulging in such

Can you imagine! It’s uncalled for. I do hope the Nigeria Broadcasting Corporation
will do something about the video.” Davido is a song writer, performer and a recording
artiste from Nigeria. He recently postponed the release of his highly anticipated album
on his birthday.
