I’m A Naira Marley Fan – Wizkid

Popular singer, Wizkid has come out to say that Naira Marley is one of his favorite artists.

He recently revealed that he loves the lyrics he uses in most of his songs and he has most of his tracks on his playlist.

According to him, even if he cannot say most of the things Naira Marley says, he regularly vibes to his words at home.

He added that there are lots of people fans do not think he listens to, but they will be shocked.

His words, “On my playlist? I listen to everybody. There are so many Naira Marley songs I wish I sang but I can’t say the things he says.

“There are people you don’t think I listen to that I do. Because you, as a musician, you’d be stupid not to pay attention to words around you, especially the young. There are so many Naira Marley songs I wish I sang.

“But I can’t say the things he says, although they’re things I think about in my head. That’s why I love him.”
