Controversial Nigerian artist and Marlian Records figurehead, Azeez Fashola, widely recognized as Naira Marley, vehemently refuted accusations linking him to DJ Splash’s mental health challenges. He also took the opportunity to dispel rumors suggesting that DJ Splash had been signed to Marlian Records.
Amidst the backdrop of controversies and allegations that have swirled around him, particularly following the tragic passing of his former signee, Mohbad, Naira Marley sought to address these concerns. One of the concerning claims was that DJ Splash had experienced mental health issues attributed to substances provided 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 have 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.
