The embattled Nigerian singer, Naira Marley, [/b]has denied claims that he signed DJ Splash to his record label, Marlian Music.
Gistreel reports that Naira Marley has been facing backlashes and allegations from Nigerians since the death of his former signee, Mohbad.
Some concerned fans raised an alarm after Mohbad’s death, alleging that DJ Splash, a purported associate of Marlian Music ran mad after taking substances given to him by Marlian team.
In refuting this claim, Naira Marley stated that the DJ was not at his house when he started battling mental challenges, describing the allegations as “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.”
