Shubomi, the sister of embattled musician Naira Marley, has expressed outrage over his brother’s detention, describing it as a human rights violation.

Recall that the Magistrate Court sitting in the Yaba area of Lagos State ordered that Sam Larry and Naira Marley be remanded in custody earlier this month while they continue the probe into the circumstances surrounding Mohbad’s death.

This came after a lot of Nigerians actively pursued justice for the late Mohbad, following the singer’s death under controversial circumstances and several accusations leveled against his former boss, Naira Marley, for bullying him repeatedly.

Shubomi, in a post via her Instastory, however, lamented that Naira Marley has been kept in detention for nearly 30 days with no charge, despite having willingly returned to the country.

She also suggested that the singer was being kept in detention to appease the social media mob.

In her words: “Keeping someone who willingly traveled back to help in detention for nearly 30 days, with no charge, no evidence, no sufficient witness is a violation of his human rights. Keeping him in custody to appease social media and the internet mob is crazy.”

“If you have evidence against him for anything he’s been accused of charge him! But if you don’t release him. It shouldn’t take this long for the investigation to be done.”

“We all want the truth! We all want justice. What is the delay? We’ve already lost one person, trying to lynch another is not going to bring about justice😔”

Even though Shubomi acknowledges that God is in control, she prays nobody ever gets to experience being accused of an atrocity you have no hand in while trending the hashtag #freenairamarley.

The public outcry and demand for justice reached its peak when evidence emerged suggesting that Naira Marley had a history of mistreating Mohbad, which fueled suspicions of foul play in his untimely demise.

The court’s decision to remand both Sam Larry and Naira Marley in custody was seen as a significant step towards uncovering the truth behind Mohbad’s tragic end.

Famous reggaeton star Ramón Ayala, aka Daddy Yankee, has officially retired from music.

The Puerto Rican singer and rapper announced this on stage during the final day of his farewell tour, La Meta, in Puerto Rico over the weekend.

He said he now hopes to “evangelize the world” and live for Jesus.

In a video message shared via his Instagram page, ‘The King Of Reggaeton’ said that a part of him felt empty and he had been trying to fill a void in his life for a long time that no one could fill.

In his message, the ‘Despacito’ crooner cited a Bible verse; “I was able to travel the world for years winning many awards, applause and praise, but I realized something that the Bible says, ‘what good is it for a man to gain the whole world if he forfeits his soul?’”

He added: “One story is over and a new story is going to begin, a new beginning.”

Daddy Yankee began his career in 1994 and is regarded as one of the pioneers of the reggaeton genre.

He retired at the age of 46.

Famous singer Ahmed Ololade, aka Asake, has recalled how some people once took him “for granted” because he was “too humble.”

In a video making the rounds on social media, Asake, while chatting with a group of friends, stated that it is better to be egoistic than to be “too humble,” as he emphasised that excessive humility often brings disrespect.

Speaking from experience, Asake said that when someone is egoistic, people feel the person is inaccessible and place more value on the person.

He said: “To me, humility is like a waste of time. People don’t appreciate it. At the end of the day, life is about your perception. That is how I think. It’s my world.

“I’ve been around people, that I tried to let them say who I am but they didn’t appreciate it. As an artiste, if you come to somewhere, if you’re humble, they will take you for granted. But if you have ego, they feel like you’re not accessible so they will like you more. People would rather see what you’re doing than you showing them humility. So, just do what you need to do.”
