Naira Marley's Cryptic Tweet Fuels Speculation on Poco Lee

On August 24, 2026, Afeez Fashola, popularly known as Naira Marley and the boss of Marlian Music, posted a cryptic tweet in Yoruba that many fans interpreted as a subtle jab directed at dancer Poco Lee, who was reportedly arrested in the United Kingdom. The tweet read: "Iyawon o'ba ku, baba won o'ba kpai, olori ebi yin o'ba ku..ONPE," which translates to being unbothered regardless of what happens to others.

This post quickly went viral, with many comments linking it to Poco Lee's current situation. The tension is notable given that Poco Lee had previously celebrated Naira Marley publicly, crediting him and others as significant influences on his career in a 2020 interview.

In 2023, Poco Lee had also expressed support for justice for another artist, which brought Naira Marley back into public discourse. The reactions to Naira Marley's tweet ranged from laughter to criticism, indicating a divided opinion among followers.
