Nigerian singer, Abdulazeez Fashola aka Naira Marley has narrated what he has endured since the d3ath of his record label signee, Mohbad.
Shortly after the court declared Naira Marley and others not guilty in the d3ath of the singer, he took to his X handle to pour out his heart.
Naira Marley’s emotional post was followed by mixed reactions with some showing pity for him for the first time
On February 25, 2025, Naira Marley, Sam Larry, Prime Boy and others were declared not guilty in the death of Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba aka Mohbad.
The Marlian Music boss spoke of the horrors he faced after he was dragged into the tragedy of Mohbad’s d3ath.
According to Naira Marley, he carried the shame and pain that was never his to bear. The music star added that even though Marlians are not perfect, and mistakes were made, he and Mohbad had made peace and people who knew this still pointed fingers at him after his demise.
According to Naira Marley, people thought he would not survive the persecution he faced and that he would remain a fugitive for life but he decided to stay and face the people instead of running.
Naira Marley said that he went to jail, stood before the justice system and faced all his travails head-on while stories kept changing. The singer added that God sees all and even though he has been broken, he hasn’t been destroyed.
The tweet:
“I never thought silence could be so loud. I never thought someone I called my brother, someone I protected, would leave this world with my name in his shadow. I have carried this weight, this pain, this shame that was never mine to bear. We, as Marlians, were not perfect. We had to grow, we had to adapt. Mistakes were made, but they were business-never war.
“I made peace with Mohbad. We understood each other beyond the noise, beyond the misunderstandings. And you know this. Yet when he took his last breath in you alls arms, you looked at the world and pointed at me. You let them tear me apart. You let them call me a killer while you sat there, knowing the truth. Now you tell the story?
“I welcomed you all into my home. I gave you my trust. And yet, my brother is gone, still not buried, and that is your fault. Telling the truth from the beginning would have given him the rest he deserves. Regardless I will always be there for him. You never thought I would survive. You never thought I would walk through the fire and face my people, maybe you hoped I would stay a fugitive. You thought I would run. Instead, I stood before the justice system, spent time in jail, and faced everything head-on while you changed the story, again and again. But God sees all.
“The truth does not shake. The lies will fade, and time will reveal everything. I have been broken, but I am not destroyed. And when the truth finally speaks, I pray your heart is strong enough to bear it. – Naira Marley.’
