After leading thousands of his fans to chant “Allahu Akbar” some days ago, many people were shocked to find out that Naira Marley made a post on his instagram handle about a very controversial song that he made which is titled “soapy”.
Soapy caused so much controversy that some singers even accused Naira Marley of introducing immoral songs to corrupt young people. The song reigned despite its controversial nature and it was played at parties and clubs across Nigeria and beyond.
Naira Marley literally stopped making such post about his controversial songs and smoking habit because of the ongoing Ramadan but something motivated him to make a post about his song “soapy”. The song had reached 10 million views on Youtube and Naira Marley could not control his excitement but share the news with his fans on Instagram.
Despite the criticisms and controversy that it generated, Soapy has remained one of the most watched music video on YouTube in recent times in the Nigerian music industry. In Nigeria, controversial songs and music videos tend to be more successful than songs that are not full of controversies that is why some celebrities like to appear controversial and even try to create scandals to gain public attention.
