Asake under fire for portraying catholicism in new music video

Singer, Ahmed Ololade aka Asake, has come under strong criticism for dressing like a priest in his new music video. 

The singer, his backup singers and dancers dressed like priests performing a mass in a catholic church for his new music video.

Like some Nigerians, Solomon Buchi has expressed distaste for Asake’s choice of props and has taken to social media to vent. In his post, Buchi described Asake’s action as ‘’disrespectful” and wondered why Christians still listen to his songs. He wrote;

Asake keeps disrespecting the Christian faith in his music videos. Dramatizing giving the Eucharist, robed up in priestly regalia for a music video that has no connection with Christianity is disrespectful. In his Bandana video, he depicts black goats troping into the church, with cloven tongues of fire above weird men. Asake, I think, is a Muslim. Why doesn’t he go above and beyond to embarrass his Muslim faith in this same way?

Why do Christians even listen to these musicians who bluntly disrespect Christianity?
