Only Few Nigerian Artists Are Not Cultists, Says Naira Marley

Nigerian singer and rapper Azeez Fashola, popularly known as Naira Marley, has raised concerns about alleged cultism within Nigeria’s music industry.

Speaking via a post on his official X (formerly Twitter) account, the artist claimed that only a few Nigerian musicians, including himself, are not affiliated with cult groups. According to him, many artists allegedly join such groups in search of power and protection.

Naira Marley also questioned the effectiveness of cult affiliations, noting that individuals who reportedly introduce others to cults still rely on police escorts for security.

In his post, he wrote: “We no reach five wey never join cult for this music industry. Person wey put you for cult sef dey carry police escort up and down.”

The singer has previously denied accusations of being a cultist. He has stated in earlier interviews that he was once threatened by cult members for refusing to join any group.

The comments have sparked renewed public debate about security, influence, and alleged criminal affiliations within Nigeria’s entertainment industry.
