Social media personality and writer, Solomon Buchi, has joined the chorus of Nigerians criticizing popular Nigerian singer, Asake, over his new 'Only Me' video. The video, released with snippets during the week, has faced widespread criticism, particularly among Christians, for what many perceive as disrespect toward the Christian faith.

In the video, Asake, whose real name is Ahmed Ololade, is seen dressed in a priestly robe, performing what appears to be a sacrament-like function in a worship house alongside men and women similarly attired. He is depicted sitting as a priest and seemingly distributing gold-like financial resources to the individuals in robes, eventually leading to the spraying of dollars.

Taking to Instagram to express his views on the video, Solomon Buchi condemned the portrayal, describing it as disrespectful to Christianity. He highlighted the disconnect between the religious imagery depicted in the video and its lack of connection to Christianity.

Buchi pointed out that this isn't the first time Asake has courted controversy with religious themes in his music videos. In a previous video titled 'Bandana,' the singer depicted black goats entering a church, accompanied by cloven tongues of fire above strange men. Despite such imagery, Buchi noted that Asake is believed to be a Muslim, questioning why he doesn't similarly exploit his own faith in his music videos.

Expressing his dismay, Buchi questioned why Christians continue to support musicians who blatantly disrespect their faith. He expressed disgust at how Christianity is often used as a mere prop for the sake of visual aesthetics in music videos, emphasizing the superficiality of such actions.

Ultimately, Buchi's critique underscores the need for greater sensitivity and respect toward religious beliefs, urging artists to refrain from exploiting religious symbols and themes for artistic purposes, especially when it lacks relevance to their own faith.
