Nigerian singer and CEO of Marlian Music, Azeez Fashola, popularly known as Naira Marley, is facing backlash amid the ongoing feud between Wizkid and Davido.
The tension escalated after Wizkid publicly criticized Davido’s music career and family, even going as far as to place severe curses on the “Unavailable” artist. This sparked significant outrage online, prompting fans to take sides and exchange jabs on social media.
While numerous Nigerian celebrities and media personalities, including Samklef, OAP Do2dtun, Portable, Joey Akan, and Daniel Regha, weighed in on the singers’ dispute, Naira Marley’s remarks drew considerable attention and controversy.
The “Soapy” hitmaker has faced scrutiny from social media users, particularly following the tragic death of his former Marlian signee, Mohbad, with many alleging his involvement in the incident.
In a recent post, Naira Marley advised patience to both Wizkid and Davido, stating, “Patience is power and it’s all on God.”

Recall, Wizkid escalated his ongoing feud with fellow Afrobeats star Davido, using social media to assert his perceived superiority over his rival in a string of personal attacks.
The “Essence” hitmaker has been directing jabs at Davido for hours, although the root cause of the dispute remains unclear.
In a recent post, Wizkid outlined the reasons he believes he is better than Davido. He boasted about being surrounded by “broke boys who worship him” and went on to comment on how the wealthy have weaponized poverty, implying that he stands above such practices.
