The spotlight has firmly turned towards internationally known Naira Marley in recent times, with a wave of criticism washing over him following the tragic passing of singer Mohbad. The late artist was once a part of Marley’s music label, Marlian Records.

Ejimofor said Naira Marley had a hideous appearance

Attaching a photo he took with the singer, Ejimofor described him as a slow poison. He added that Marley’s songs shouldn’t even make the playlist of sane minds and claimed the singer had a hideous appearance. He wrote:

“I met Naira Marley for the first in December 2019. I chauffeurred him personally and experienced him closely for two straight days.

“If I were asked to define him in two words I would simply say, “slow poison”. Dude, in my estimation, deserved a place in the rehab. If we didn’t find ourselves at this time in musical history where lyrical lewdness is the fad, I don’t think his songs deserve any place on the Playlist of the sane-minded. His appearance is hideous — if you talk so much about this my Gen Z folks would accuse you of profiling.

“But, if you asked me, I would tell you that there is a lot about and in the way we look or present ourselves. The next class of musical brigands soon to be discovered by the Nigerian public would be Burna Boy and, you many not agree with me, Davido. This may sound prophetic but I bet it will surely manifest unless they quit “hard dru.gs” and “juvenile hideous fraternities”.

“I wouldn’t say more. Where are my Marlians?”
