    Zinoleesky celebrates Naira Marley, calls him ‘killy’ on his birthday

    Many Netizens are enraged as Zinoleesky celebrates his boss, Naira Marley on his birthday, refers to him as “killy” in his message to him.

    This comes after Naira Marley was indicted in the murder of his late label signee, Mohbad.

    It was reported that the late singer was a victim of bullying by Naira Marley and his close friend, Sam Larry.

    Although, no judgment passed on the matter as the police are still carrying out their investigations.

    While many have claimed it is a popular UK slang that translates to a beautiful person, it means killer or murderer in Jamaican lingo.

    Considering the questionable circumstances surrounding Mohbad’s death and Naira Marley’s alleged involvement, many find the name very offensive.

    The Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle lands in Nigeria for the first time on Friday morning, ahead of their 72-hour tour.

    The Duchess of Sussex arrived at Heathrow yesterday to reunite with her husband at the airport’s VIP Windsor Suite.

    Prince Harry, Meghan Markle make first ever visit to Nigeria

    They both boarded a British Airways overnight flight to Abuja, which experienced a slight delay due to the scheduled pilot falling ill, necessitating a replacement to be quickly arranged.

    Seated in the first-class section of the Boeing 777, the couple, visiting Nigeria together for the first time, were separated from other passengers by a curtain.

    This arrival follows Harry expressing his delight at returning to the UK this week to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games. He had been in London since Tuesday, participating in events related to the competition, including a thanksgiving service.

    Upon their departure from the aircraft, the couple shared smiles with cabin crew, and Nigerian officials welcomed them at Abuja Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport. They were then whisked away in a blacked-out minibus waiting on the jetty through a side door.

    An American rapper and record label leader, Gucci Mane, has disclosed why many of the artists signed to his 1017 label are in prison.

    During an appearance on his wife’s podcast, ‘All Things Keyshia Ka’Oir,’ Gucci Mane revealed that many of his signees are in jail due to difficulties that are rarely seen.

    He believes he can help them because he is also an ex-convict.

    The host had asked, “The street wants to know why all your 1017 artists keep going to jail.”

    Responding, Mane said: “Well, that was how I was going back and forth in jail. I try to help those artists that I see a lot of myself in [them]. I feel like if I’m not helping them, who else is going to help them? Nobody sees that part of the story.

    “They definitely have a story to tell. They come from the trenches. I want to help. I feel like I can relate to them. I know what they got going on.”
