The official video of Davido's 'Skelewu' was released as promised on Monday, October 21, 2013. It was shot in the UK directed by budding D.O.P Mr Moe Musa.
After a controversial leak of the first proposed video for 'Skelewu', Davido said he was going to shoot another video that would be released in five days. well he did it. But not without the help of Mr Moe Musa who some tag as a ‘creative crooks’. They claim that the 'Skelewu' video concept is a stolen creative concept form the pop duo LMFAO's 2011′s ‘Party rock anthem' video
Well The video in question starts with RedFoo and SkyBlu waking up from a coma in the hospital, hitting the streets to notice the town has been deserted. Just when they get on the road, someone comes to warn them about a song that has caused a frenzy in the town, then a bunch of crazy dancers get close to them and start dancing, LMFAO later join the dance.
One has to wonder what director Mr Moe Musa was thinking? Could he have assumed that there was no MTV or YouTube in Nigeria back in 2011? Not only should he be berated for this unacceptable creative plagiarism, he should be visited by LMFAO’s label Interscope Records with a lawsuit. There is no mention of Moe Musa borrowing the concept or paying homage to LMFAO.
The official release from Davido’s publicist WildFlower PR states, ‘HKN Music presents Davido in a revolutionary movie showing the viral effect of the ‘Skelewu’. Revolutionary indeed!
