Controversies
EFCC arrest
On 10 May 2019, the EFCC arrested Naira Marley and his friends Zlatan, Tiamiu Kayode, Adewunmi Moses, Micheal "Taqueesh" Adenuga and Abubakar Musa.[27] The arrest was made a day after he released the video for the controversial single "Am I A Yahoo Boy".[28] Five days later, the EFCC released Zlatan and three others but kept Marley in their custody due to overwhelming evidence against him.[29] On 16 May 2019, the EFCC charged him with 11 counts of fraud before a Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos.[30] On 19 May 2019, he released the single "4 Nights In Ekohtiebo" while still in prison. In it, he talks about his industry friends, foes and other people who have admired him.[31] In May 2019, he was arraigned before the Federal High Court and pleaded "not guilty"; a bail hearing was set for 30 May 2019.[32] On the day of the bail hearing, Naira Marley released "Why", a song that was accompanied by an image of him in handcuffs. On 14 June 2019, he was released from jail fourteen days after being granted ₦2,000,000 bail.[33] A few days later, he released "Soapy", a track about the sexual habits of inmates in detention.[34][35]
In October 2019, he returned to the Federal High Court to face his charges.[36] His case was later adjourned to 27 February 2020 after an EFCC witness testified against him.[37]

Valentine's Concert In Cameroun
On Saturday 13 February 2021, a report surfaced online that highly anticipated Valentine's Concert by Naira Marley in Cameroun has been canceled by government authority in the country. According to some digging findings by online media platform,[41] the concert was already postponed twice by the organizer to another venue but was later cancelled by the authority in the country due to jealousy on the part of Cameroonian entertainers who are displeased with the traction Nigerian music and musicians[42] have in the country.

BELLA SHMURDA SPEAKS ON BABY MAMA's
Published By: flex ab
15th September, 2021
Afropop star, Akinbiyi Abiola Ahmed popularly known as Bella Shmurda has said he can’t stand the practice of having baby mamas due to his experiences in the past.
The ‘Cash App’ crooner spoke in a recent interview wherein he reflected on his growing up, music career, and love life.
According to him, his detest for baby mamas stems from the fact that he comes from a polygamous family where his father has four wives.
Shmurda said happenings around him have also shown that while some are able to put up with having baby mamas, it has also ruined the lives of others.

The singer also said he cannot afford to repeat the “mistakes” of those who have experienced setbacks due to such a lifestyle.
“I won’t be following the popular trend of getting a baby mama because growing up, listening to music and watching things like that, I have been able to see people’s mistakes, downfall and I have come to see the reasons for that,” he said.
“Little things such as that are part of the reasons. Some are lucky, they have a lot of baby mamas and are still doing great, some are unlucky, they only have one baby mama and became ruined.
“So, l don’t want to follow that path, coming from a polygamous home with four wives is another experience. I can’t make that mistake. So, at a point, I have to settle down but now I’m working and believe my future wife is out there

More than anything, Zinoleesky’s self-explanatory song titles have propped his extraordinary hit-making abilities in the industry. From Kilofeshe to Naira Marley and Ma Pariwo, the Marlian Label stand-out has managed to give credence to his singles with just titles that do more than enough in preparing listeners for what’s to come. Zinoleesky’s latest, Gone Far, is no different than its predecessors. Lugging just a couple of years experience as his claim to fame, ‘Gone Far’ does justice in declaring the singer’s superstar abilities which is a thing of his transcendent delivery style and a voice that grips as much as accompanying instrumentals, do.
Fresh off his collaboration with Busiswa on the remix of hit, Kilofeshe, Zinoleesky is still in his Gqom loving phase. Over a sprightly bass beat produced by frequent collaborator, Timi Jay, he tells of his rise to the top, hinting at the very obvious and now cliche bumpy journey to fame, rife with doubt and disdain. For Zinoleesky however, his sturdiness isn’t solely native to his music but a shared feature that’s prominent in his relationship with family and friends, as noted in Gone Far.
A storyteller with ears for mood-elevating music as evidenced in Ma Pariwo, Zinoleesky delivering fun and feelings on Gone Far, comes as no surprise.
