Popular Nigerian singer, Abdulazeez Fashola, known as Naira Marley, has addressed ongoing criticism linking his actions to Islam, urging fans to hold him accountable for his mistakes rather than blaming his faith.

Taking to his X (formerly Twitter) account, Naira Marley emphasized that Islam is perfect, but Muslims are not. In his post, he stated:

🔹 “Islam is perfect, Muslims are not. If I make a mistake, blame me, but not my religion.”

This statement comes amid mounting scrutiny over his lifestyle, with some attributing his actions to his Islamic background.

Mixed Reactions from Fans and Critics

Naira Marley’s post has ignited a debate on social media, with supporters and critics sharing their perspectives.

Supporters Agree with His Stance:

  • @Mr_Lasdon: “This is why Muslims are encouraged to act according to the teachings of Islam. We should always reflect and be good ambassadors for our religion.”
  • @Olumachoo: “Well said! Islam, like any faith, is pure. It’s people who fall short. Judge individuals, not the religion.”

Critics Challenge His Viewpoint:

  • @MD_Jatta: “Oh no, you’re the perfect representation of your religion—flaws and all. By the way, if you can read actual Arabic (which I can), I’ll pick a song from your terrible playlist and torture my ears with it all day long.”
  • @ObinnaCEO: “No religion is perfect, just as no human is. Faith is meant to guide, not to claim superiority. What matters is how we live, treat others, and strive for truth.”
