Naira Marley cancelled on Twitter for performing at APC Lagos rally
Nigerian street act, Naira Marley is now trending after entertaining a large crowd at the APC mega rally held at the Teslim Stadium in Lagos.
In preparation for this weekend’s general elections, the All Progressives Congress (APC) conducted a mega campaign for Bola Ahmed Tinubu, its presidential candidate, on February 21 in Lagos state.
The rally, which took place at the Teslim Balogun Stadium in Surulere, as expected, featured a number of side events, including live music performances by some well-known figures in the entertainment sector.
Indigenous rapper, Naira Marley, was well on the ground to thrill party faithful and supporters with some of his hit tracks.
However, things took a turn for the Soapy hitmaker shortly after he got off the stage and was attacked by irate fans in the area.

Reportedly, the people had asked the rapper for financial favours but he had refused. Also, it was reported that security personnel eventually intervened and grabbed the rapper.
On the microblogging site, Twitter, discussion about his performance at the APC rally erupted.
While some criticised him for his choice, others backed him by pointing out that the music group P-Square also played for the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi.

APC government once said that Naira Marley was a menace to the society. All of a sudden because they are desperate for the support of the youths they are bringing that same menace to perform at their campaign because they feel he can influence the youth. We’ve passed that stage.

If you’re going to cancel naira marley for performing for APC then you have to cancel Olamide too.
Because without Olamide saying a word, we know who he’s supporting. 😒😒

Naira Marley hasn’t said anything about giving his support to apc, it’s business and music business is neutral. He is doing it for free? No. He was paid to entertain the people that came to campaign. I guess BAT is tired of cracking jokes so he called an artist to perform.
