Nigerian dancer Lil Smart has officially filed a petition against Naira Marley, the boss of Marlian Records, and singer Zinoleesky, accusing them of threatening his life.
The incident has generated significant attention, particularly after Lil Smart took to social media on December 9, 2024, to raise an alarm about the alleged threats. Sharing alarming photos and videos, he alleged that Zinoleesky and others had chased him, placing his safety in jeopardy. In his plea, he urged the public to hold the duo accountable should anything happen to him.
The allegations have not gone unanswered, as Zinoleesky quickly denied the claims, dismissing them as mere clout-chasing by Lil Smart. This denial, however, has not deterred the dancer from seeking justice.
In a subsequent post on Instagram, Lil Smart announced that he had formally submitted a petition to the authorities, backed by what he described as strong evidence. He expressed hope that the legal system would uphold justice and address the alleged threats to his life.
According to Lil Smart, this is not the first time he has faced intimidation from Naira Marley and Zinoleesky. However, he admitted that past incidents went unchallenged due to a lack of concrete evidence.
“This is not the first or third time I have been experiencing this bullying,” he said. “But I didn’t have enough evidence to face the law. Now, I thank God that I have very good evidence, and I will put everything I have in line to make sure this bullying and threat to life is stopped.”
The dancer further expressed faith in the Nigerian legal system, emphasizing that no one should be above the law:
“With my evidence, I really hope that they are not too big to be apprehended,” he stated. “I have submitted my petition and evidence to the authorities. By God’s grace, the law that binds us as citizens of Nigeria will make sure I get the justice I deserve.” His comments reflect a broader call for accountability and fairness within the entertainment industry.
The case has sparked widespread debate, with many weighing in on the allegations and the culture of accountability in Nigerian entertainment circles. While some sympathize with Lil Smart’s plight, others remain skeptical about the validity of his claims. The viral videos and photos have added another layer of intrigue to the unfolding saga, keeping the public closely watching for further developments.
As of the time of this report, Naira Marley has yet to respond to the accusations. The silence from the Marlian Records boss has fueled further speculation about the veracity of Lil Smart’s claims. With the matter now in the hands of the authorities, many await the outcome of the investigation, hoping for a resolution that underscores the rule of law and ensures justice is served.
