Nigerian afrobeat musician David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has come under backlash from many Muslims on social media for posting a 45-second trailer clip of his upcoming musical video on Twitter.

The video showed a group of men acting as if they were participating in a Muslim prayer session but instead were dancing and singing.

Reacting to the video, some Muslims have described the video as disrespectful. They have accused the "Unavailable" hitmaker of disrespecting Islam by mixing their religious rites and rituals with song and dance.

They have however called on him to delete the video and apologize.

Meanwhile, Davido has not yet responded to the accusations.

Below are some reactions from muslims

Bashir Ahmad @BashirAhmaad, a former aide to ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, said: There are many reasons why every Muslim finds this content absolutely disrespectful, hurtful and offensive @davido. “I assume you all know that we Muslims don’t mix our religion with jokes in any way, especially Salah (prayer), which is sacred and the second of the five pillars of Islam.

“In Salah, Muslims remember our Lord, Allah, express our love and respect for Him and invoke and strive to express our gratitude towards Him. The notion is that the Salah activity brings the individual face-to-face with God.

“That is what we believe, and that is our faith. Please respect it. No Muslim will find it as an honor or acceptable.

You all know Muslim doesn’t mix jokes and ridicule into religion but you keep finding a way to deride Islamic religious practice. You have millions of contents to make up for your video why most you bring Islam into it. This music video is all shades of WRONG!!!

@the_scholar1: The height of this ignorance and disrespect, is unacceptable to the Muslim community. Please take it down and have some respect for the Muslims.
