ZINOLEESKY HINTS AT RIFT WITH NAIRA MARLEY, SAYS HE’S STANDING UP FOR ARTISTS
Nigerian singer Zinoleesky has sparked fresh rumours of a fallout with his label boss, Naira Marley, after sharing a bold message on social media about artists being exploited in the music industry.
The speculation began after Zinoleesky posted on his Instagram Story, declaring that he is ready to speak up not just for himself but for all artistes who feel powerless or taken advantage of.
“I’m standing up not just for myself but for every artist who has ever felt powerless or taken advantage of. We deserve better. We deserve transparency, fairness, and respect,” he wrote.
His statement quickly went viral, prompting mixed reactions online. Many fans revisited the controversy surrounding the late singer Mohbad, who had previously accused Naira Marley and his associates of mistreatment before his tragic death two years ago.
Although Zinoleesky did not mention anyone directly, social media users believe his message may hint at internal issues within Marlian Music, the record label he joined in December 2019.
The post has fueled intense conversations about artist welfare, contract transparency, and the culture of silence within the Nigerian music industry.
For now, neither Zinoleesky nor Naira Marley has publicly confirmed any split — but fans are watching closely to see what happens next.
