Naira Marley: I’m Not Responsible For DJ Splash’s Mental Illness
Embattled Nigerian singer and Marlian Records henchman, Azeez Fashola, popularly known as Naira Marley has denied claims that he is responsible for DJ Splash’s mental instability.
Also, he cleared the air on rumours that he (DJ Splash) was once signed to Marlian Records.
The ‘soapy’ crooner has been tongue-lashed in recent times on different allegations since the death of his former signee, Mohbad.
Among such allegations was that DJ Splash ran mad after taking substances given to him by the Marlian team.
DJ Splash’s mother, in a recent video shared by actress Iyabo Ojo during her visit, alleged that since her son left Naira Marley’s house, he had been mentally unstable.
However, in an interview with Reno Omokri on Thursday, Marley denied all the allegations.
According to him, DJ Splash was never officially signed to his music label, and neither was he responsible for the DJ’s mental instability.
He added that the DJ had parted ways with Marlian Records before his mental instability began.
He said, “DJ Splash was never signed to Marlian Music. I know him as a DJ, but he has never deejayed with me at shows or anything, it is not like he is my DJ. They just gave him the title because I took a picture with him.
He added that he did not know how the DJ’s mental instability started, and neither was he (DJ Splash) still associated with Marlian Records at the time.
“When whatever happened to him, he was not at my house, and I do not understand where all this is coming from,” he noted.
