Expressing concern about the trend, the outspoken artist claimed that only a small number of musicians have chosen to stay away from secret cults. He alleged that many performers are drawn into such groups in a bid to gain power, protection, or influence in the highly competitive industry.
According to him, the situation has become a worrying development that deserves attention, as it affects not only the integrity of the music industry but also the personal lives of those involved.
Speaking in a sarcastic tone, the Afrobeats singer highlighted what he described as the hypocrisy surrounding the practice, noting that even individuals who initiate others into cult groups still depend on police protection.
Sharing his thoughts in a post written in pidgin, Naira Marley mocked the contradiction, questioning the relevance of such affiliations when those involved still seek safety from law enforcement.
Naira Marley also restated that he has no affiliation with any cult group. In the past, he has dismissed claims linking him to cultism, explaining that he was even threatened by some individuals after turning down invitations to join such groups.
His remarks have further fueled discussions around security concerns, coercion, and unhealthy power structures within Nigeria’s creative space—topics many observers say demand serious reflection and meaningful change.
