Several unprecedented events happened in the entertainment industry
in Nigeria in 2013. Apart from the superlative events that shook the
industry, few odd things occurred in the year. One of them was the music
video of Davido’s hit single, ‘Skelewu’, which had many videos.
When
the singer released the song, he tasked his fans to record the
‘Skelewu’ dance with any device of their choices and upload such on the
internet. This was exactly what D’Banj did when he released his smash
hit single, ‘Oliver Twist’.
As expected, many people responded to
it and in a short time, the ‘Omo Baba Olowo’ announced that he was
shooting the music video of the song.
However, before its
official release, the music video, shot by Sesan, reportedly leaked on
the internet, but the video received knocks from fans, who felt
disappointed at the work. As a way of damage control, Davido took to
twitter to dissociate himself from the video and slammed Sesan for the
job.
He thereafter announced that he was contracting UK-based
music video director, Moe Musa for another shoot of the song. Though the
second job fell below expectation, Davido later gave up on the job
after he was slammed by his fans as he was allegedly planning to shoot a
third video for the song.
Speaking recently on why he publicly
took on Sesan, Davido declared that he felt bad about what Sesan did
because he had expected much from him.
Corroborating him, his
cousin, Shina Rambo, lamented that Sesan didn’t do what was expected
from him. He said they were angry with him (Sesan) because they paid
hugely for the job and thought he would do what would be appreciated by
all.
