“We No Reach Five”- Naira Marley Claims Most Nigerian Artists Have Joined Cults

Rapper Azeez Fashola, widely known as Naira Marley, has expressed worry about the growing presence of cultism in Nigeria’s music scene.

Expressing his frustration, the artiste claimed that only a handful of Nigerian musicians, including himself, have refused to join secret cults. He criticised artists who allegedly seek power and protection through such groups, noting that even those who introduce others to cultism still rely on police escorts for their own safety.

Taking to his X (formerly Twitter) account, Naira Marley wrote:

“We no reach 5 weh never join cult for this [music] industry. Person weh put u for cult self dey carry police escort up and down.”

The singer has previously denied rumours linking him to cultism, stating that he was once threatened by cult members for refusing to join their group.
