Ace Afrobeats artiste, Davido has come under fire online for an act Muslim faithful have perceived as grave disrespect to Muslims and Islam.

The video shows Logos Olori sitting atop a building, singing while some worshippers were seen observing salah below.

This set off a wild angry reactions from netizens. They have called on Davido to pull down the video and apologized unreservedly.

Dear Davido, for the benefits of doubt, we will assume you do not know that Muslims hold the obligatory prayers sacred and it’s totally prohibited to joke or play with the prayers. Please kindly take it down and apologize to all Muslims for this grave mistake https://t.co/GphtWHhaUX

Creativity is fine, but respect people’s religion & cultures.”
