Nigerians React As Angela Okorie Defends Naira Marley: ‘He Gave Me Money, He’s Nice In A Clip Video

In a video shared on her social media this morning, the mother of one recalled a personal experience with the artist. She praised Naira Marley for his generosity and encouragement, especially during a time when she was promoting one of her songs — support she claimed was rare in what she described as the “demonic industry.”

About three or four years ago, on one of my birthdays, Naira Marley surprised me with a large amount of money. I was stunned. The kind of support and motivation he gave me — no one else in this industry, where people envy you for simply being bold and hardworking, has ever done that,” she said.

Angela added that she later visited him to express her gratitude for attending her birthday celebration. During that meeting, she proposed a musical collaboration, which he agreed to and even promoted on his own initiative.

“Naira Marley was incredibly kind to me. He’s quiet, not confrontational, and far from a troublemaker,” she said.

Her comments come at a time when many Nigerians are calling for an investigation into allegations made by the late Mohbad, who accused Naira Marley of bullying him while he was alive.
