Naira Marley, the embattled Nigerian singer, has disputed reports that he signed DJ Splash to his record label, Marlian Music.
Gistlover reports that Naira Marley has been facing backlashes and allegations from Nigerians since the death of his former signee, Mohbad.
Following Mohbad’s death, some concerned fans claimed that DJ Splash, a purported associate of Marlian Music, went insane after consuming narcotics provided by the Marlian crew.
In response to this claim, Naira Marley revealed that the DJ was not at his home when he began experiencing mental health issues, calling the claims “lies.”
It was gathered that DJ Splash’s mother in a viral audio alleged that Naira Marley had invited her son to live with him and promised to cover his educational expenses.
She added that Marley eventually failed DJ Splash and alleged that since leaving his house, her son has been “mentally unstable”.
However, in an interview with Reno Omokiri, Marley refuted claims that DJ Splash was his official DJ or signed to his music label.
He said, “DJ Splash was never signed to Marlian Music; I know him as a DJ, but he has never deejayed with me at shows or anything, it is not like he is my DJ. They just gave him the title because I have a picture with him,” he said.
“When whatever happened to him, he was not at my house, and I do not understand where all this is coming from.
“DJ Splash, DJ whatever, I do not understand where it is coming from, that is all lies, they are just bringing out people from nowhere to tell lies.”
