Pop singer, Davido has denied insinuations by the National Drug Law and Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) that he is into drugs following the release of the video to his single, ‘fans mi’ which features American rapper, Meek Mill.
Director of Public Affairs of the NDLEA, Mr. Mitchell Ofoyeju, had said the anti narcotic agency had set up a panel to investigate the making of the video, which he alleged had clearly promoted drug trafficking.
Speaking through his manager, Kamal Ajiboye, the NDLEA had mistaken for drugs was actually yam flour and the Fans mi video was aimed at promoting the production and sale of yam flour in Nigeria. He also revealed that Davido has not received any invitation for questioning from the agency.
“People have been talking about the matter on social media. Maybe they need to take time to watch the video again and see for themselves what it is all about. I don’t know why anybody would want to make up a story about Davido getting involved with hard drugs,” he said.
“The yam flour was well projected in the video. It was finally prepared as a meal of pounded yam to be eaten with vegetable soup in one of the scenes in the same video,” he told Punch.
He further explained the video’s storyline, “the story is basically to dissuade people from trafficking in hard drugs. The purpose of the video is to let the audience know that since some people are making money from hard drugs, they can also make a lot of money by selling yam flour.”
Davido’s manager accused those who have lampooned the video of deliberately interpreting its message in a negative way. By kicking against it, he said, the NDLEA and other critics had shown that they did not wait to watch the video till the end before concluding that it was promoting hard drugs.
