It is good to discover that Davido deleted that offensive and hurtful video. Hopefully, the entire scene will also be deleted from the actual footage before releasing it to the market, and we humbly urge that the same grave mistake should never happen again from him or anyone…

Davido finally deletes Jaye Lo video. Good move.
It is not a sign of weakness or fear but a sign of respect for greater authority and also to foster peace and peaceful coexistence.
If you think Davido is weak for doing that, You can upload something offensive on your timeline.

I am not sure Davido understands the implications of visual content in his signee’s latest video Jaye Lo.
The Musl|ms may be hospitable but one thing they never do not mix rel|gion with entertainment.
Even as a Christ|an, I find the behavior of the video very offensive. THREAD pic.twitter.com/wWbMwYh9mX
