Naira Marley: Should Tee Billz Have Done This?

The internet has been abuzz with news for the past few days following the arrest of Naira Marley in connection to fraud.

The singer was arraigned before a Federal High Court in Ikoyi on an 11 count charge bordering on fraud and just yesterday Kemi Olunloyo revealed that veteran rapper Ruggedman is the one who snitched on Naira Marley.

Celebrities have since taken to social media to react to all of this with one of them being Tee Billz the ex-husband of singer Tiwa Savage.

While Tee Billz sympathized with Naira Marley, he took out time to slam Ruggemdna in the process.

In his words;

Teebillz has shared his opinion on the travails of Naira Marley who has been remanded in EFCC custody till May 30th pending his bail application.

‘may the grace of God be sufficient for the needs of this talented young man during his trials. We all make mistakes and my personal take is that most of this young guys don’t know better and I feel it’s our obligation as the older ones to put them right instead of just calling them out on social media for unnecessary validation!

OG Rugged Man I hope you can do that shit privately next time sir! I know you don’t want that smoke with me bro if you take my message the other way bros’.

This is coming after EFCC released a full statement on the rapper’s arraignment. The statement read thus;

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Lagos Zonal office, on May 20, 2019, arraigned a Nigerian artiste, Azeez Adeshina Fashola, also known as Naira Marley, before Justice Nicholas I.
