Controversial Nigerian singer and Marlian Music boss, Naira Marley, has issued a bold statement to critics following ongoing calls to boycott his music after the death of fellow artist Mohbad. The controversy surrounding Naira Marley intensified in 2023, when rumors circulated, accusing him of being involved in the tragic passing of Mohbad, a claim that has yet to be substantiated.
Since Mohbad’s death, many fans and music lovers have distanced themselves from Naira Marley, with some even calling for a complete boycott of his music. The allegations, fueled by online discussions, have created a divide in the music community, with supporters of both artists taking to social media to voice their opinions.
In a direct response to these boycott calls, Naira Marley took to his X (formerly Twitter) page to address the ongoing controversy. With his trademark defiance, the singer asserted that no one had the power to cancel him or his career, except for a higher authority. “The only person that can cancel me is God,” he wrote, making it clear that he would not be deterred by the backlash.
The statement quickly ignited mixed reactions across social media. Some of Naira Marley’s supporters rallied behind him, reinforcing his stance that no external force could dictate the trajectory of his career. These fans voiced their continued support, dismissing the allegations as baseless and emphasizing his resilience in the face of criticism.
However, the singer’s message also faced significant pushback from those who have been critical of his involvement in Mohbad’s passing. Many online users continued to call for accountability, insisting that Naira Marley address the allegations directly, and questioning his role in the events leading up to Mohbad’s death.
