Naira Marley’s career took a major hit following allegations linking him to the untimely death of his former signee, Mohbad. The controversy sparked massive backlash online, leading to calls for his boycott within the Nigerian music space.
However, in a recent development, a court dismissed the lawsuit filed by Mohbad’s father against Naira Marley and his close associate, Sam Larry. The court ruled that there was insufficient evidence to connect either of them directly to the young artist’s death.
Meanwhile, conversations around the current state of Afrobeats have intensified in the global music scene. Ghanaian-American singer Amaarae recently argued that Afrobeats’ global momentum has slowed, stressing that the genre and African music in general needs to evolve to remain relevant.
With his renewed call to action, Naira Marley hopes to contribute to this evolution and restore Afrobeats to international prominence.
