Only God can erase me, Naira Marley boasts
Nigerian singer, Azeez Fashola popularly known as Naira Marley said only God can “cancel” him.
He stated this in an X post on Monday.
“Only God can cancel me,” the singer said.
Cancel culture in social media lingo refers to the boycotting, shaming, or ostracism of individuals or groups due to behaviour, opinions, or statements deemed offensive or problematic.
Although it is intended to hold people accountable, its effectiveness, fairness, and implications for free speech have been subject of intense debate.
Naira Marley, who owns Marlian Music, has faced severe criticism from Nigerians since the death of his former label signee, Mohbad under controversial circumstances in September 2023.
Following Mohbad’s death, videos of his alleged harassment by Naira Marley and his associates emerged or recirculated on social media, sparking public outrage.
The police invited, detained and subsequently released the singer and his associate, Sam Larry.
Naira Marley has continued to maintain his innocence.
Over a year after the incident, many Nigerians have continued to criticise the singer, especially on social media.

Mohbad: Naira Marley told me he owes late singer money – VeryDarkMan
Controversial social media influencer, Martins Otse also known as Very Dark Man has revealed that Naira Marley admitted to him that he was owing Mohbad the late singer.
He said: “I asked Naira Marley why he is not coming out to show the public his own evidence — the business side — because he clearly owed the boy [Mohbad] some money.
He told me how much he owed the boy. It’s not a small amount of money.
“He told me how much he was supposed to give him and what caused their problem.
He said their problem started when Mohbad began working outside the record label’s contract and requested to change the management the label provided for him. I then asked him to come out and explain to Nigerians what transpired between them, but he said God will fight his battles.”

BBNaija: People saying I don’t deserve prize money are not wise – Kellyrae
Big Brother Naija Season 8 winner, Kellyrae, has said those who are still insisting that he does not merit winning the N100 million grand prize are not wise.
Recall that some BBNaija participants and fans, including Shaun, have claimed that Kellyrae did not offer much on the show and, as such, does not deserve to win.
Addressing the issue in a recent podcast hosted by his colleague, Adekunle Olopade, Kellyrae said his critics are not wise.
He emphasised that being on bad terms with someone is not a valid reason to discredit them.
He noted that Onyeka is not on good terms with his wife, Kassia, but he still acknowledges her talent.
Kellyrae said, “Even though Onyeka is not on good terms with my wife, she is a very talented person. Because we are not on good terms, it doesn’t me I should discredit her.
“So, I don’t know what some of my colleagues saw in me in the house that made them feel that they were more worthier of the prize money than my wife and I. It means you are actually a dull person. You are not wise.”
