Nigerian singer Naira Marley, his aide Sam Larry, and signee Zinoleesky have made their first public appearance after their recent release from police custody.
The trio, previously held over allegations connected to the death of former Marlian Music signee Mohbad, was seen in public with hefty security.
In videos circulating online, Zinoleesky was observed engaging in conversation with Naira Marley and Sam Larry. The trio entered a car as Sam Larry recorded the moment. Notably, they were seen later at an orphanage, where they donated food items.
Netizens have expressed skepticism about the trio’s motives, questioning the need for heavy security and suggesting that their public appearance is an attempt to regain public favor. Some comments pointed out their perceived attempt to “buy back” love from the public.
The controversy surrounding Naira Marley, Sam Larry, and Zinoleesky involves their arrest and subsequent release after meeting bail conditions. The arrest was linked to the death of Mohbad, who had accused Naira Marley’s crew of assault in a video posted before his passing.
Despite the controversy and public scrutiny, the trio seems determined to reshape their public image through appearances and charitable actions. The response from social media users has been mixed, with some expressing doubts about the sincerity of their actions.
