Reactions As Naira Marley Releases New Song, Acknowledges Mohbad

Marlian Records frontman, Naira Marley was thrust into a new round of controversy following the release of his latest track, “Wahala,” accompanied by a music video.

The announcement hit his Instagram page, with Naira Marley sharing, “Wahala out now 🔥🔥 Most of them lon shote. Don’t mind dem.”

The release of Wahala comes on the heels of the tragic loss of his former signee, Mohbad, an event that previously led to the arrest of Naira Marley alongside some of his colleagues. Even after their release, the incident remains a delicate subject.

In a poignant gesture, the song “Wahala” features a nod to Mohbad, triggering varied responses from the public and fans of Naira Marley and those of the late musician. While some lauded the song as a masterpiece, others accused Naira Marley of capitalizing on the situation for personal gain.

One commenter, Okwudili, voiced skepticism about Naira Marley’s intentions, hinting at the idea that Mohbad’s name was being exploited for financial gain. Lil Smart, a former signee, offered a cautious note, advising, “Don’t let them kill you, then ask God for forgiveness.”

MetroBlog took a firm stance, calling for reprimand for Naira Marley and his colleague, Sam Larry. On the flip side, Jaja Band dismissed the approach as unoriginal, urging Naira Marley to move forward. Adding to the mix, ay_writes hinted at a belief in karmic justice, condemning the alleged pain caused to Mohbad and cautioning about eventual retribution.

In the midst of this public reaction, Naira Marley’s “Wahala” has become a lightning rod, eliciting both praise and criticism, while fans and onlookers grapple with the complex dynamics surrounding the artist and the recent loss of his former protégé.
