Azeez Fashola, Nigerian singer better known as Naira Marley, has declared that he doesn’t see a reason to stop smoking.
Marley made this known via his Twitter page.
In his words: “I really like smoking loud. I can quit whenever, I just don’t see a reason. It’s not harmful to me. It makes me stay happy and se jeje”.

The ‘Inside Life’ crooner’s statement has elicited different reactions from his fans.

@Malekzy tweeted: “Do what you want cos it’s ur life”.
TheNewsGuru recalls that back in August 2019, Naira Marley during an Instagram live session was spilling out derogatory words at his “critics”. He also boasted about making A(s) while schooling in England.
“Some are on Twitter saying, ‘this is not Naira Marley tweeting or why is Naira Marley tweeting this? Are you f*****g stupid? Do you think I’m a fucking illiterate fam? Are you f*****g stupid, you f*****g d******d,” he ranted.
“I’m a f*****g A-star student that f*****g went to school in f*****g England. You think my f*****g twenty years in England was for what fam? Are you insane? Stop f*****g telling me nonsense bruv, I’m not a f*****g illiterate like you, you f*****g stupid idiot.”
In May, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had arraigned him before a federal high court in Lagos on 11-count fraud offence.
Marley was arrested by the anti-graft agency with respect to cybercrime popularly known as ‘yahoo yahoo’. He, however, denied wrongdoings.
The singer was granted bail of N2 million on May 30, but had to spend some time in prison custody pending when he would perfect his bail conditions.
