Fabian Blu has claimed that while working at Marlian Records a label he characterized as “too gangster” he was exposed to drugs.
In a recent interview on WithChude, the singer criticized the label he was signed to from 2020 to 2022. According to Blu, working at Marlian Records was like being “imprisoned.”
The singer released five songs while working for the label, which is owned by Naira Marley, including “Rolla Costa” and “Instagram.”
He also worked with other artists signed to Marlian Records, including the late Mohbad and Zinoleesky.
He said;
“I got introduced to drugs in Marlian Music. I got signed to the record label. I have never liked the whole Marlian music kind of lifestyle. They were too gangster,” he said.
“I have met a lot of Yoruba people as friends. But getting to that Marlian music, I met a different set of Yoruba people. There was tribalism in the record. It was chaotic and dysfunctional.
“I was not given the free will to express my creativity. All of my songs in Marlian Music were a result of they wanted it to sound that way. They have not given me my share of royalties ever since I have been with them.
“That place was like a prison to me. When Mohbad died. I was abused in Marlian music because I was not a Muslim I cannot get favours from them.”
First Mohbad, Lil Smart, DJ Splash and now Fabian. I strongly believe that there must be something about that record label, because all of them can not be telling lies against one person and his record label. I feel the government needs to look into this. I pray and hope they don’t come for Fabian Blu.
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
One ❤️❤️❤️
