Controversial singer Naira Marley has set social media ablaze with a shocking claim about the depth of cultism within the Nigerian music industry.
In a stark post on his X handle, the rapper lamented the negative trend, asserting that “we no reach 5″—meaning less than five artists—have managed to stay clear of joining a cult.
He took aim at artists who join for perceived power and protection, mocking their logic by pointing out the irony: “Person weh put u for cult self dey carry police escort up and down.” This suggests that even the influencers who recruit them still rely on official police security, not cult protection.
Marley’s statement doubles down on his long-standing denial of being a cultist. He has previously stated he was once threatened for refusing to join a cult, positioning himself as one of the very few in the industry who has resisted the pressure.
The claim paints a damning picture of the industry’s underbelly and is sure to spark intense debate about peer pressure, security, and the true price of fame in the Nigerian entertainment scene.
