Major music channels such as Soundcity and MTV Base have made a significant move by removing Naira Marley’s songs from their playlists.
ADULAWO NEWS reports that the decision comes in the wake of the artiste’s alleged connection with the tragic passing of Mohbad.
Mohbad, who had been a part of Naira Marley’s Marlian Records label, parted ways with the record label in 2022. Since then, tensions between the two artistes have escalated, leading to public disputes.
