Nigerian dancer, Lil Smart has taken to social media to level serious allegations against music stars Naira Marley and Zinoleesky, accusing them of assault, attempted harm, and past misconduct.
The dancer detailed his harrowing experience in a series of posts, claiming he narrowly escaped with his life.

“BUT AS GOD with me, I somehow escaped and ran into the express road naked !!!! before a Good Samaritan picked me up or naked,” Lil Smart wrote.
According to him, his properties are still in their possession, and he has photographic and video evidence to back up his claims. In his emotional post, Lil Smart drew parallels between his ordeal and the tragic death of fellow artist Mohbad, accusing the Marlian Music crew of bullying Mohbad until his untimely demise.
The dancer did not stop at recounting his alleged attack. He threatened to expose deeply incriminating secrets about Naira Marley and his crew, including their alleged role in Mohbad’s death and other incidents of misconduct.
“That’s the same way they bullied MOHBAD till he died,” Lil Smart stated. “They have done the worse and I’m not keep any of ur secrets, if you wanna ruin my life, we gonna go down together.”
He further accused individuals linked to Marlian Music of engaging in heinous acts, such as drugging girls at parties, covering up a rape incident involving a UNILAG student, and intimidating others into silence.
“How INN & Marlian Soilder rapped a UNILAG girl that came for Marlian house party and Naira had to shut her up with money… how yall sneak MD (drugs) in girls drink wen Dey come party in Marlians house,” Lil Smart alleged.
The dancer concluded by declaring that he is prepared to expose all secrets if his life is further threatened.
These allegations come in the wake of ongoing controversies surrounding Naira Marley and his crew, particularly after Mohbad’s passing, which has sparked widespread public outcry and demands for justice. As of now, Naira Marley, Zinoleesky, and their associates are yet to respond to the claims made by Lil Smart.
Authorities are expected to look into the matter, as Lil Smart’s revelations add another layer to the already heated scrutiny surrounding the Marlian Music label.
