Controversial Nigerian artist, Azeez Fashola, widely known as Naira Marley, has responded to allegations of negatively impacting the life of the alleged former Marlian Music disc jockey, DJ Splash.
Amid the controversy surrounding Mohbad’s death, there have been online reports suggesting that Naira Marley was involved in a drug cartel that ruined DJ Splash’s life.
The male DJ recently spoke with Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo, claiming that Naira Marley and his associates plotted to harm him when he was associated with them.
However, during an interview with former presidential spokesperson Reno Omokri, the music star clarified that DJ Splash was never under contract with his record label.
Naira Marley stated that the young DJ had never worked for him, and the title “Marlian Music DJ” was attributed to him due to a photo they took together.
The singer explained that when DJ Splash faced his difficulties, he was not at Naira Marley’s residence, and he couldn’t comprehend the source of these allegations.
According to Naira Marley, people are fabricating stories against him because DJ Splash was never signed to Marlian Music.
In his own words: “DJ Splash was never signed to Marlian Music; I know him as a DJ, but he’s never deejayed with me at shows or anything, it’s not like he’s my DJ, they just gave him the title because I have a picture with him. As nice as I am to everybody now, there’s a lot of people around me that come and go.
“When whatever happened to him, he was not at my house, he was far gone from I don’t know where he went and I don’t understand where all this is coming from, DJ Splash, DJ whatever, I don’t understand where it’s coming from, that’s all lies, they’re just bringing out people from nowhere to tell lies. He was never my DJ, he was never signed to Marlian Music, he has never worked for Marlian Music.”
