Music promoter and talent manager Tunji Balogun also called TeeBillz has incurred the wrath of many internet users on Monday after he asked Nigerians not to throw away boss of Marlian Music, Naira Marley over the Mohbad death.
TeeBillz said Naira Marley had invested in the late singer Oladimeji Ilerioluwa Aloba popularly called Mohbad saying the death of the singer should not be used to run Naira Marley out of business.
In a post on his Instagram account which he however deleted, TeeBillz, who was husband to popular singer Tiwa Savage, asked Nigerians to consider the investments Naira Marley had made on his signee.
Teebillz said Naira Marley is “too young and talented to be thrown under the bus of cancel culture”.
He said Naira Marley believed and invested in Mohbad’s music career when “none of the after death advocates of love” did.
He wrote, “[Naira Marley is] Too young too talented to throw under the bus of cancel culture! One of the best writers of the new age! Guilty by association is not a deliberate crime to me……. I pray ppl forgives Naira Marley off his shortcomings and I hope God gives him a 2nd chance to attain his blessings as a bonified leader and influencer! Just yesterday when everyone and their mama was a glorified Marlian…… Naira believed and invested in Imole’s talent when none of the after death advocates of love did….!!! May our creator bless us where we lack knowledge and wisdom!
