Naira Marley, noted for his street songs and outspoken remarks in the entertainment business, has seen a dramatic fall in his social media follower count since the scandalous recordings and rumours of Mohbad’s death began to circulate on social media.
This abrupt drop in his following base is entirely due to the concerns surrounding his alleged role in the unfortunate death of fellow musician Mohbad.

Naira Marley’s follower count has decreased substantially, falling from 7.4 million to 7.3 million yesterday. It currently has 7.2 million followers.
The trend of netizens unfollowing Naira Marley looks to be a continuing one.
The controversy surrounding Mohbad’s untimely death is one of the key reasons for his loss of followers. Naira Marley has been shrouded in suspicion and blame since the death of the promising young artist.
A viral video showing Mohbad being pummeled before his death heightened the focus on Naira Marley’s involvement in the terrible events.
A petition to ban Naira Marley’s music company, Marlian, received over 50,000 signatures, escalating the situation.
This petition, which was started in the aftermath of Mohbad’s death, has garnered a lot of traction. It emphasizes the extent of public interest and unhappiness with the incident’s circumstances.
Sam Larry, Naira Marley’s aide and close friend, canceled his Instagram page after being exposed for his involvement in the assault on Mohbad, adding to the issue.
The video that went viral showed Mohbad in a wheelchair filming a music video with Zlatan. Sam Larry, wielding a machete and other weapons, stopped the shoot.
Naira Marley tried to handle the problem by issuing an official statement in which he expressed his wish to learn the truth regarding Mohbad’s death. He stated in the statement that there was no hatred between him and the late artist, referring to Mohbad as a brother.
A recent press release from Mohbad’s team, however, contradicts this assertion, disclosing that Mohbad has started legal action against Naira Marley’s record label, Marlian Music, to recover unpaid royalties.
