Ayra Starr faces being 'cancelled' for promoting new Naira Marley song

Nigerian popstar Ayra Starr has found herself in hot water after posting a video promoting a song belonging to 'cancelled' singer Naira Marley and then deleting the video after being criticised. The video has sparked reactions from thousands of social media users, quickly making her a trending topic on Twitter. Naira Marley himself has been on the wrong side of social media following the death of his former signee Mohbad in 2023, under mysterious circumstances. After Mohbad's death, it was alleged that Marley had bullied and cyberstalked the late singer, which did not sit well with Nigerians. Since then, his engagement has drastically reduced.
