Nigerian singer Naira Marley has poured out his heart in an emotional note after being declared not guilty in Mohbad’s death.
Taking to his social media page, he stated that he never thought silence could be so loud and someone he called brother, and protected would leave the world with his name in his shadow. Naira noted how he had carried weight, pain, and shame that was never his to bear.
Noting how he and his label aren’t perfect, he said they had to grow, adapt, and make mistakes, but they never went to war and made peace with Mohbad. Unfortunately, when the singer died, the whole world pointed fingers at him.
Naira Marley noted how many didn’t think he would survive and become a fugitive, but he stood before the justice system and spent time in jail, facing everything head-on while people changed the story again and again. The controversial singer added that he is broken but he isn’t destroyed.
“I never thought silence could be so loud. I never thought someone I called my brother, someone I protected, would leave this world with my name in his shadow. I have carried this weight, this pain, this shame that was never mine to bear.
We, as Marlians, were not perfect. We had to grow, we had to adapt.
Mistakes were made, but they were business wars. I made peace with Mohbad. We understood each other beyond the noise, beyond the misunderstandings. And you know this.
Yet when he took his last breath in you alls arms, you looked at the world and pointed at me. You let them tear me apart. You let them call me a killer while you sat there, knowing the truth. Now, you tell the story.
I welcomed you all into my home. I gave you my trust. And yet, my brother is gone, still not buried, and that is your fault. Telling the truth from the beginning would have given him the rest he deserves. Regardless I will always be there for him.
You never thought I would survive. You never thought I would walk through the fire and face my people, maybe you hoped I would stay a fugitive. You thought I would run. Instead, I stood before the justice system, spent time in jail, and faced everything head-on while you changed the story, again and again.
But God sees all. The truth does not shake. The lies will fade, and time will reveal everything.
I have been broken, but I am not destroyed. And when the truth finally speaks, I pray your heart is strong enough to bear it”.
Kemi Filani reported on Tuesday that a Magistrate court sitting in Yaba, Lagos, had cleared Naira Marley, his aide Sam Larry, and Prime Boy from the death of Mohbad. The Magistrate said that they had no case to answer as regards the unfortunate demise of the late singer.
Reacting to the news, Naira Marley, via his Twitter and Instagram page, shared verses from the Quran. One of the verses stated that anyone who puts their trust in Allah will be enough for him. Another verse noted how men conspire and plan against others, but Allah is the best planner.
