tkannywood_fimmagazine:
"Deleting the post is not enough. He should come out and distance himself from the post and then apologise to all Muslims for insulting their religion. Besides, some people are saying he was not the one who deleted the post but Instagram after he was reported."

maryam__ballah:
"One thing I love about him is that he corrects his mistakes and that’s how human beings supposed to be. But next time he shouldn’t jokes with ISLAM. Because my religion is VERY RESPECTFUL . GOD BLESS ISLAM "
sen_mubarak_my:
"I swear shame on you! The first time I saw your post, it was very nice and I was proud. Just because his post was removed is to forget his crime. What's wrong with being forgotten. But you deleted the first one, and posted another one thanking him! And he didn't even give patience"
tagwayenasali:
"Please let's us all accept his gesture as he removed the video from his timeline at least is ok because this is all what we're fighting for. "
Writer Mayowa Oladeji says Davido's video is not prohibited, and it doesn't violate Islam
Mayowa Oladeji, @CoveredInWords on Twitter, a writer and student of Islamic knowledge, shared his opinions about Davido violating Islam and Muslims.
According to him:
"Artistes are free to express themselves creatively but one must consider extenuating factors within the confines of being creative and expressive."
The writer shared different opinions on the general consensus that the video violates Islam and is prohibited.
He said:
"Unbeknownst to Davido, who was just promoting his artiste, Muslims are not even supposed to listen to music, but someone ( a highly respected APC member) I spoke to said Davudo might have deemed it acceptable due to the position of his uncle, the Osun state governor Ademola Adeleke, who is known for his laissez-faire attitude to Islam (what is his religion by the way?) So strictly speaking, the video is not prohibited but he did the politic thing by deleting it."
"It doesn't violate Islam since Davido is not a Muslim, but he did the right thing to foster cordial relations by pulling it down. This is also factoring his recent travails with cheating; he needs to be still seen as "a good guy" since he had always projected that facade compared to Burna Boy and Wizkid."
Davido finally reacts after being called out for disrespecting Islam
Ace Afrobeat superstar, Davido trended for a few days because of a new music video he posted online.
Former presidential aide on new media, Bashir Ahmad, criticised the singer, noting that the music video wrongfully depicts Islam.
The DMW boss finally broke his silence and responded to the calling out with a cheeky message on Twitter.
