September 24, (THEWILL) – A former Police Public Relations Officer of the Lagos State Police Command, Opetodolapo Badmus, has recalled how she was severely criticised after speaking up against the lifestyle of singer Azeez Fashola, aka Naira Marley. Her recollection came on the heels of the untimely and mysterious death of singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, aka MohBad, who was signed on Naira Marley’s record label, Marlian Records.
Badmus who was known for her active presence on social media, had in 2019 on her Instagram page condemned Naira Marley’s lifestyle and his post concerning women’s bodies. Naira Marley had in a tweet said, “Having a big booty is better than having a Master’s degree.”
In response, Badmus said, “So having a big body part is now better than having educational or vocational qualifications? I still can’t get over this! We need to restore sanity to our system and stop tolerating public nuisance. It is mediocrity for anyone to applaud an obviously delinquent and unproductive dead duck hiding under the guise of making music, obnoxious music for that matter.
My advice to the younger ones is that they should never let anyone confuse them. Having a good body part is great, but educational or vocational qualifications are more important. In fact, they are non-negotiable. Your body part cannot give you sustainable existence only good educational or vocational qualifications will do. Be guided! #saynotoharddrugs #harddrugdestroys.”
Firing back at her, Naira Marley wrote, “This Instagram police want to have sex with me, but she is really ugly.”
In the wake of MohBad’s death, Badmus posted on her Instagram page, saying that she was criticised when she stood up for herself against the character he depicts and the impending threat it represents, which will become hydra-headed if not contained.
“So many tags on me. I plead that I’m left out of tagging. The relevant authorities are on this matter, when I single-handedly spoke up against this character and the danger that he portended, I was bashed both inside and out. A danger not curtailed will become hydra headed. My heart is with the departed and everything that represents him,” she said.
