Popstar, Davido has downplayed the alleged National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) probe for his use of a substance similar to cocaine in his 'Fans Mi' video.
Interacting with his fans on Twitter, Davido shortly spoke about the issue.
In a recent interview with a National daily, the Director of Public Affairs of the NDLEA, Mitchell Ofoyeju, explained that the body has set up an investigative panel.
‘I am aware that a panel is working on it (the video). The panel was set up soon after the video was released few weeks ago. When our attention was drawn to it, we viewed it and we discovered that it was improper. There is no moral lesson in it and he was just advertising drug trafficking.
‘In the video, he exchanged a brief case supposedly containing narcotics for dollars. He was displaying affluence in the video. If it (the plot) had climaxed in an arrest and possible detention, we would have congratulated him for partnering with us.
‘But the way he portrayed drug trafficking in the video was a means to an end, which the end is a life of affluence which we disagree with. We are looking at the issue holistically. We believe that there should be a body that was supposed to censor videos before they go out.
‘Those are the things we want to investigate and verify. Was the video submitted for approval? If it was submitted, why was it approved, with such content?’ Ofoyeju revealed.

When I viewed the video, I got the message. Is all about hustling. He was just trying to portray different things people do , the length people can go just to make it in life and after making it ,that is after making money people will now recognize them. I don't see anything wrong with the video, it portray what is known as duping. The substance contain Pardo yam floor and the white guy was later upset when he discover it was not cocaine and at the end of the video they made know to everyone, when it was prepared and serve with soup. I don't see any reason for the probe.
ReplyDeleteTrue it's not like they where sniffing anything in the video, he turned the powder to swallow and he ate it if they are been truthful to themselves(NDLEA) I mean they know at part was more like a metaphor....
