Nigerian singer Tiwa Savage’s ex-husband and manager, Tunji Balogun, aka Teebillz, has been criticised for asking Nigerians to forgive singer Azeez Fashola, aka Naira Marley.
In a now-deleted Instagram post, Teebillz stated that Naira Marley is too young and talented to be thrown under the bus of cancellation culture, adding that he is one of the best writers of the new age.

Many Nigerians have openly denounced Naira Marley following the death of his former signee, Ilerioluwa Aloba, aka Mohbad.
Teebillz also said he hopes God gives him a second chance to attain his blessings as a bonified leader and influencer.

According to Teebillz, Naira Marley was the only one who believed and invested in Mohbad’s talent when no one else did.
“Too young too talented to throw under the bus of cancel culture! One of the best writers of the new age! Guilty by association is not a deliberate crime to me……. I pray ppl forgives Naira Marley of his shortcomings and I hope God gives him a 2nd chance to attain his blessings as a bonified leader and influencer! Just yesterday when everyone and their mama was a glorified Marlian…… Naira believed and invested in Imole’s talent when none of the after death advocates of love did….!!! May our creator bless us where we lack knowledge and wisdom,” he wrote.

@smartugah: “I am also one on the side that, he should face the law on bullying the young man, but same time, also I don’t want him to be cancelled and accused wrongly on the death of the boy!! Also this dude saying Nonsense , because he gave Imole a stand and others didn’t, doesn’t mean he should not face the law. Even a father can face the law about their own kids. So? This matter is deep, so putting emotions in it.”
