Nigerian singer Naira Marley, alongside his aide Sam Larry, has stirred controversy by visiting an orphanage home to donate food items. The move comes shortly after their release from custody, prompting mixed reactions online.
Videos circulating online show Naira Marley, Sam Larry, and Naira’s signee Zinoleesky making a public appearance and later donating food items to an orphanage. Some netizens have interpreted the gesture as an attempt to regain public favor following their legal troubles.
Online comments express skepticism, suggesting the donation is a calculated move to alter public perception. Some compare the situation to political tactics, while others question the sincerity behind the charitable act.
Naira Marley and Sam Larry were recently released after being arrested and accused of causing the death of Naira Marley’s former signee, Mohbad. The pair spent over five weeks in police custody before meeting their bail conditions. Mohbad had previously accused Naira Marley’s crew of assault, leading to a series of public controversies.
The donation to the orphanage has sparked discussions about the intentions behind the gesture, with online users expressing varying opinions on the matter.
