Nigerian musician, Naira Marley has witnessed a remarkable resurgence in his social media following, regaining 100,000 fans after experiencing a significant loss of followers last year.
This resurgence, officially noticed on Tuesday, February 27, 2024, comes in the wake of a turbulent period marked by controversy and public criticism following the tragic death of fellow singer, Mohbad.
The passing of Mohbad triggered a series of events that led to widespread condemnation aimed at Naira Marley and his assistant, Sam Larry. Social media users expressed their grievances and accused the musician and his team of being involved in the unfortunate incident.
In the aftermath of Mohbad's demise, a considerable portion of Naira Marley's fan base disassociated themselves from him, leading to a substantial decrease in followers. The artist's controversies were further compounded by the emergence of implicating videos, exacerbating the situation.
Additionally, several music outlets, including MTVBase and Soundcity, publicly announced their decision to sever ties with Naira Marley and his music.
