Nigerian music star Azeez Fashola, better known as Naira Marley, is in the spotlight once more.
This time he is facing backlash for his supposed controversial lyrics in an upcoming track by Zinoleesky.
The situation is heightened by the fact that it coincides with the one-year anniversary of his former artist Mohbad’s tragic passing. Screenshots of Naira’s lyrics have gone viral on social media, causing a stir among fans.
One of the shocking lines that has caught attention says, “Leave that opp boy in a casket.” This has led many to speculate if it targets Mohbad directly.
