Written by MAX FM on September 13, 2024
Controversial singer Naira Marley is facing backlash over his new song with Zinoleesky. Many fans think it takes an insensitive jab at the late Mohbad.
The track, titled “Abanikanda,” features Naira Marley making a provocative statement that has left fans outraged. In the song, he raps, “Leave that opp boy inna casket,” which many interpret as a dig at Mohbad, who passed away last year.
The timing of the song, which was released on the anniversary of Mohbad’s death, has intensified the criticism. The investigation into Mohbad’s death remains unresolved, and this new song has been perceived by many as an attempt to further provoke or belittle the late singer.
Fans have taken to social media to express their anger. One user on X (formerly Twitter) wrote, “This is enough evidence to declare them killers of Mohbad, but this is Nigeria?.” Another user added, “He didn’t have to say that line at all. Very unnecessary.”
The controversy highlights ongoing tensions and unresolved issues surrounding Mohbad’s death. As the anniversary of Mohbad’s passing approaches, many feel that Naira Marley’s lyrics add to the pain instead of offering respect.
This incident has sparked a wider conversation about respect and sensitivity in the music industry. Fans and critics are urging public figures to show more empathy when discussing sensitive topics related to deceased individuals.
