NAIRA MARLEY SAYS ‘FALSE NARRATIVES’ COST HIM FANS AS HE SEEKS MUSIC COMEBACK
Naira Marley has said what he described as false narratives surrounding him after Mohbad’s death damaged his career and caused members of the Marlian fan base to stop supporting his music. Speaking during an Instagram Live session, the singer recalled his earlier dominance in Nigerian street-pop and claimed his influence once extended into fashion trends. His latest comments come ahead of the December 12 return of Marlians Fest in Lagos, which he is presenting as a major comeback event. In February 2025, a Lagos Magistrate’s Court struck Naira Marley’s name from proceedings linked directly to Mohbad’s death after prosecutors said there was insufficient evidence connecting him to it.
