Mohbad: ‘Naira Marley Too Young to be Thrown Under the Bus of Cancel Culture’ – Teebillz
Prominent music executive and the estranged husband of singer Tiwa Savage, Tunji Balogun, known as Teebillz, has made an appeal to Nigerians not to engage in the cancellation of rapper Naira Marley.
In recent times, Naira Marley has faced substantial criticism following accusations of his involvement in the untimely demise of his former signee, Ilerioluwa Olademeji Aloba, also known as Mohbad.
Despite vehemently refuting these allegations, Naira Marley’s music, as well as songs by artists signed to his record label, Marlian Music, have been omitted from the playlists of numerous Nigerian media outlets.
Teebillz, offering his perspective on the situation, took to his Instagram page to convey that Naira Marley, given his youthful age and remarkable talent, should not be subjected to the negative aspects of cancel culture.
He said Naira Marley believed and invested in Mohbad’s music career when “none of the after death advocates of love” did.
He wrote, “[Naira Marley is] Too young too talented to throw under the bus of cancel culture! One of the best writers of the new age! Guilty by association is not a deliberate crime to me……. I pray ppl forgives Naira Marley off his shortcomings and I hope God gives him a 2nd chance to attain his blessings as a bonified leader and influencer! Just yesterday when everyone and their mama was a glorified Marlian…… Naira believed and invested in Imole’s talent when none of the after death advocates of love did….!!! May our creator bless us where we lack knowledge and wisdom! (sic)”
