Flaunt Weeekly
Nigerian rapper Naira Marley has announced that his music is once again gaining traction, despite the controversy surrounding the death of his former artist, Mohbad.
The rapper, who has long been a figure of polarizing influence in the Nigerian music scene, is currently celebrating the growing popularity of his latest track, which has quickly become an anthem in clubs and parties across the country.
His new hit is now one of the most played songs, and Marley has expressed his excitement over the warm reception it’s receiving.
The announcement comes amid a turbulent period for the rapper, who faced heavy criticism following Mohbad’s tragic passing.
Many of Marley’s followers and industry insiders pointed fingers at him, questioning his role in the circumstances that led to Mohbad’s death. This controversy led to a significant backlash, with some declaring that the Marlians, the rapper’s fan base, would no longer be a force in the music scene.
However, Marley has consistently denied any involvement in the tragic event, continuing to build his brand and career despite the negative publicity.
On Saturday, Naira Marley took to his social media to boast about his current success. “Who said no more Marlians? You guys are now enjoying my song? No one can cancel my brand,” he boldly declared.
His message was clear: he believes that despite the controversies that may have temporarily damaged his reputation, his musical influence remains unshaken.
The rapper’s latest song has resonated strongly with his loyal followers, as well as new listeners who are discovering his unique sound. The fact that the track is now a staple at parties is a testament to its widespread appeal, even among those who may have previously distanced themselves from him.
This resurgence in popularity could also be seen as a victory for Marley, who has weathered many storms in his career. For years, he has courted controversy with his unapologetic behaviour and bold statements, but his ability to keep producing hits has ensured his place at the top of the charts.
As his new song continues to climb the charts, Marley has shown that his brand is not so easily “canceled,” as some had hoped. His confidence remains steadfast, and he seems determined to keep making music that resonates with his audience.
While the shadow of Mohbad’s death still lingers over the music scene, Marley has found a way to turn the attention back to his music.
