Davido Reacts As Nigerians Attack Him For Doing A Promotional Video For COZA Church

Popular Nigerian singer, Davido has come under heavy fire on social media after he was featured in a promotional video of an upcoming event in Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA).

In the video, Davido was seen promoting COZA’s next year (2020) programme “12 days of Glory”, alongside a little girl and an older woman.

COZA founder, Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo, who shared the promotional video on his Instagram page, described Davido as his friend and revealed that the singer would be attending the church programme as promised. He wrote:

“COZA members are so passionate about God! I am touched. Janel’s Diary, @omalizz12 Thank you. @davidoofficial.Repost from @omalizz12 using @_repostplus. Hey fam, hope you are planning to be at the 12 Days of Glory 2020 in COZA. My friend @davidoofficial says that he puts God first in everything. You should do the same. See you then!”

Backlash to the video was swift, with social media users criticising Davido for featuring in a video promoting the church of the alleged rapist Biodun Fatoyinbo.

Following the backlash, Davido issued a statement on his Twitter page, saying he has nothing to do with the church.

According to him, he did a quick video for a kid that was introduced as a fan, and he had no idea it would be used as a promotional video for a church.

The singer described the action of COZA as ‘disrespectful and fraudulent’ and has demanded that the video be pulled down immediately.

Meanwhile, the video has been taken down from Fatoyinbo’s Instagram, where it was shared.
