I left Naira Marley’s label after two colleagues became mentally ill from his violence: Lil Smart
In the midst of the online frenzy surrounding the death of Mohbad, former Marlian Music Record label dancer Lil Smart has expressed concern and fear for his life.
In a chat with singer Davido’s crew member, Dre, Lil Smart alleged that two former colleagues were driven mentally ill by Naira Marley’s violent lifestyle.
“Broo I’m scared, they killed my Mohbad. The only one encouraging me and giving me hope as we left that devilish label. Do you know, two people ran mad before I left?” Lil Smart said.
Dre assured him not to worry and took to Instagram saying, “God knows I won’t start what I can’t finish, may your spirit not forgive all of us if we don’t make you happy Mohbad.”
Sometime in January, the famous dancer revealed that he left the record label because he was not appreciated.
According to him, Marlian Music started with just one duplex but when Naira Marley began building houses, he refused to give him a room to stay, leading him to squat with friends.
Messages sent to Lil Smart by Peoples Gazette to clarify these allegations were left unanswered until the time of filing this report.
