The video depicted individuals dressed in white garments engaged in prayer similar to Islamic practices, followed by a transition into dancing while reciting Quranic verses and prayers. Additionally, Davido’s signee imitated the Muslim style of prayer while sitting on the rooftop in the music video.

Particularly, some Nigerian Muslims residing in the northern region found the video deeply offensive, demanding that the music star take it down and offer an apology for his actions.
As the controversy continued to escalate and the online backlash persisted, Davido eventually opted to delete the contentious music video from his Twitter page, complying with the demands of some members of the Muslim community.
