Earlier today, the hashtag “Free Naira Marley” trended on Twitter, in what appears to be the anticipation of the singer’s freedom. The singer also dropped a new single titled ‘Why’ ahead of his court case today. In the song, the singer asks certain questions on his continued detention. The single was produced by OluwaJbeats.
On “Why”, Naira Marley lets the world know that he is all about living a good life and avoiding stress. However, he believes he’s surrounded by fake friends, all of whom have made his desire to live a stress-free life impossible to achieve.
Just two days before his arrest, Naira Marley released a song titled ‘Am I a yahoo boy?’ and an accompanying video in which he featured Zlatan Ibile who was also arrested with him but granted bail about two weeks ago.
