The renowned actor Patrick Doyle, has blasted musician Davido for his choice of outfit to the palace of Ogiame Atuwatse III, the Olu of Warri.

Davido wowed the crowd last weekend at the “Warri Again” event in Delta with favourites like “Over Dem,” “Kante,” and “No Competition.”

The artist paid a courtesy call at the Olu with Amaju Pinnick, Phyno, Cubana Chief Priest, and AY Makun prior to the concert.

Dressed in brown tights and a white t-shirt, Davido and Pinnick stood for photos with the queen.

Doyle, who is a native of Delta, took to Facebook to question Davido’s attire, calling it “inappropriate” for a royal visit.

“Is this appropriate dressing to visit the Palace of a king the calibre of the Olu of Warri?” the 63-year-old actor asked.

Photos from the visit which were shared online sparked a conversation about the appropriateness of Davido’s outfit.

The artistes, joined by comedian AY Makun and celebrity barman Cubana Chief Priest were in Warri for the much-anticipated “Warri AGAIN” event, organised by former Nigeria Football Federation President Amaju Pinnick.

In a different story, Patrick Doyle has criticised the expression “I am chosen,” which adherents of The Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Revival Ministries frequently recite.

Doyle said the term is not a Christian belief and called it “nonsensical” in a recent Facebook post.

“The phrase ‘I am a chosen,’ as used by members of the religious sect called ‘Chosen,’ should never be connected to the Body of Christ,” he wrote.

“The members of this sect do not have Jesus in mind when they chant the phrase. Their adoration is unequivocally directed at a man, their GO, and the sect he founded. The phrase does not mention or even imply Jesus in any way.

“To infer that the nonsensical phrase is remotely connected to giving glory to the name or person of our Savior, Jesus Christ, is to make a mockery of our faith.

“Bloggers and content creators using the phrase are not mocking the Church of God but the sect in question and its founder.”
