Naira Marley fires back at critics blaming him for Zinoleesky’s alleged drug use and weight loss
  • When a jaw-dropping video of Zinoleesky hit the internet, revealing a shockingly slim and older-looking version of the singer, the online world erupted in concern.
  • Whispers turned into loud accusations as people blamed his label boss, Naira Marley, for what they saw as a clear sign of trouble under his management.
  • But Naira Marley and Zinoleesky shot back, Zino posted another blistering video, where he unabashedly showed off his skinny frame, brazenly boasted about his look, almost reveling in the controversy.

The CEO of Marlian Music, Azeez Adeshina Fashola, better known as Naira Marley, has fiercely pushed back against a storm of accusations questioning his role in the well-being of his artist, Oniyide Azeez, popularly known as Zinoleesky.

Recently, a video of Zinoleesky cruising in a luxury car while vibing to a newly released track sent shockwaves through social media. What caught everyone’s attention wasn’t just the music but the artist’s noticeably slim figure and evident weight loss.

This new look sparked a wave of concern, speculation, and wild theories among netizens, who flooded the internet with their fears and accusations.

Many fingers pointed directly at Naira Marley, accusing him of leading his young protégé down a dangerous path, possibly involving drugs.

A little bit bothered by the backlash, Zinoleesky didn’t hesitate to clap back. On Saturday, August 31st, he took to his Instagram page to address the critics head-on.

Unapologetically confident, Zino flaunted his slim physique in a new video promoting his latest song with Naira Marley. With a bold swagger, he bragged about his slim body, taunting his detractors.

Zinoleesky wrote;

“Slim daddy active! Make una dey play”

Not one to stay silent in the face of controversy, Naira Marley also seized the moment to respond. He took to his comment section to rally behind his signee, throwing down a gauntlet of his own.

With a mix of swagger and sharp wit, he celebrated Zinoleesky’s lean frame, declaring it the look of a man on the rise, a “slim body making money.”

He doubled down by borrowing a line from one of his hit singles, taunting the critics that their words were nothing more than empty noise, implying that no matter what the critics say, it doesn’t faze them one bit.

Naira Marley wrote;

“Anything dey like make dem talk, Slim body big money”
