Popular activist Verydarkman has claimed that prior to the controversy surrounding Mohbad, Naira Marley had a greater influence and following than top Nigerian artists like Davido, Wizkid, and Burna Boy combined.
Speaking while sharing new developments in the Mohbad case, Verydarkman recalled how massive the Marlian movement once was. He noted that during events, the crowd’s excitement for Marlians often overshadowed reactions to even the biggest names in Afrobeats.
He explained: “Lemme let the cat out of the bag so we will stop all this…for Mohbad matter, then you go come understand the context. Marlians was so big that if Wizkid dey here now and Naira Marley come, people go start to dey shout Marlians. Marlians was so big that if Davido stand, and Naira Marley stand, people go dey shout Marlians…the guy pack ground around the globe and around the country. It was a problem. The entertainment industry is so dark to the point wey be say they see each other as a competition..”
