Naira Marley Calls Out Fake Friends On His Latest Single, ‘Why’

A few weeks ago, Naira Marley released  “Am I A Yahoo Boy” — a tongue-in-cheek track that landed him in a world of trouble. The rising artist has now spent the last couple of weeks in EFCC custody, but that hasn’t stopped him from releasing another single. “Why?”.

On “Why”, Naira Marley lets the world know that he is all about living a good life and avoiding stress. However, he believes he’s surrounded by fake friends, all of whom have made his desire to live a stress-free life impossible to achieve. 

Oluwajbeats helms the track’s laid-back beat, upon which Naira Marly call out these fake friends, asking them why they only remember him when he posts lavish pictures on Instagram, or why they constantly talk about him behind his back. 

As Naira Marley remains in EFCC custody, it is likely the song was released on his behalf by his label. Unfortunately, we think they should have kept it, as it isn’t Marley’s best performance. Still, his words on the song are worth some meditation.
