A storm is brewing in the Marlian Music camp as fast-rising Nigerian singer Zinoleesky has set social media ablaze with a bold declaration that many believe signals a major fallout with his label boss, Naira Marley.
In a post that went viral on Saturday, Zinoleesky openly lamented the poor treatment of artistes in the industry, insisting it was time to push back against exploitation. His strongly worded message has fueled widespread speculation that the singer may be distancing himself from the Marlian Music fold.
The artist, who rarely speaks publicly on internal matters, wrote on his Instagram story that he was taking a stand “not just for myself but for every artist who has ever felt powerless or taken advantage of.” Emphasizing his call for change, he added, “We deserve better. We deserve transparency, fairness, and respect.”
Though Zinoleesky made no direct mention of Naira Marley, the timing and tone of his message have raised eyebrows, especially given the controversies that have rocked Marlian Music in recent months. Fans and industry watchers are now debating whether the singer’s statement marks the beginning of an inevitable split from the label or a broader campaign advocating for artists’ rights.
As reactions continue to pour in across social platforms, neither Naira Marley nor the Marlian Music team has issued a response, leaving the public to read between the lines of Zinoleesky’s powerful declaration.
