At the 2014 Miss Global Nigeria held in Lagos, Tee A tried
to explain to his audience why Davido's award winning song “Aye” ended up being
shot in a village and not in an urban city like Lagos.
If you are lost, here is the gist. Davido sings about a girl
who doesn't want his expensive gifts and lifestyle – a Ferrari car, no designer
fashion stuff etc – but is solely interested in his love alone. Then his video
comes out and its shot in a village setting.
According to Tee A, why would a village
girl not want your love when she first of all has no idea what a Ferrari car or
designer brands are? He asked, “why didn't he [Davido] shoot that video in
Lagos where the 'bad' girls are? It could have made much
sense since they know what those riches are... So if they deny those riches for
your love alone, that's the true AYE!”
In other words, perhaps the comedian just sent a strong
message to all Nigerian music video directors to please shoot videos which tie
to the lyrics of the songs they are shooting videos for.
