Nigerian singer Naira Marley is currently embroiled in a controversy surrounding the death of his former label signee, Mohbad as the scandal has cast a shadow over his career and severely impacted his public image.

 The controversy, which has sparked widespread outrage across social media, has placed Marley under intense scrutiny, with many Nigerians questioning his role in the events leading up to Mohbad’s passing.

The backlash has been severe, with fans and critics alike calling for the singer’s cancellation.

Reports indicate that numerous Nigerian listeners have stopped streaming his music, leading to a significant decline in his audience base.

Show promoters have also distanced themselves from Marley and his brand, further isolating him within the entertainment industry.

This public disapproval has created a noticeable shift in the trajectory of Marley’s once-thriving career.

Once celebrated for his unique style and influence in the Afrobeats genre, the singer is now facing the harsh realities of losing support from both fans and industry stakeholders.

The ripple effects of the scandal have even extended to his social media platforms, where he has been bombarded with criticism.

In the midst of the storm, Naira Marley has responded to his critics in a statement that has further fueled public debate.

Speaking defiantly, he declared, “Only God can cancel me,” seemingly addressing those who have refused to move past the allegations surrounding him.

The statement has drawn mixed reactions, with some seeing it as an act of resilience and others as dismissive of the seriousness of the situation.

The controversy stems from allegations of mistreatment and a toxic environment within Marlian Records, the label founded by Naira Marley.

Mohbad’s death has reignited these claims, with many fans demanding justice and transparency regarding the circumstances of the young artist’s tragic demise.

The incident has prompted a broader conversation about accountability and ethics in the Nigerian music industry.

As public anger continues to grow, several stakeholders in the entertainment industry have weighed in on the matter.

Some artists have openly expressed their support for Mohbad’s family, while others have chosen to remain silent, likely to avoid being drawn into the controversy.

The silence of certain prominent figures has only fueled speculation and frustration among fans.
