Singer Zinoleesky has reacted to the controversy surrounding an alleged phone conversation between him and fellow artiste Lil Frosh, which social media activist VeryDarkMan (VDM) recently released online.
The singer appeared to question why public attention had shifted to the date the conversation was allegedly recorded, after VDM claimed it took place on September 17, 2023, five days after the death of former Marlian Records singer Mohbad.
Responding to the discussion in a social media post, Zinoleesky wrote:
“Now the conversation has changed to why I recorded five days after the whole country said we killed someone. Okay.”
His reaction followed the circulation of the recording, in which Lil Frosh allegedly told him that Afrobeats star Davidohad contacted him and asked him to advise Zinoleesky to leave Marlian Records, the record label owned by Naira Marley.
During the alleged conversation, Lil Frosh reportedly said Davido had expressed concern about Zinoleesky remaining with the label. He also claimed he could provide screenshots of his alleged exchange with the singer as evidence.
The recording has attracted renewed attention because of its claimed date, which falls shortly after Mohbad’s death on September 12, 2023.
Mohbad’s death triggered widespread public outrage and allegations against individuals associated with Marlian Records. However, the circumstances surrounding his death and the allegations made against different people have been the subject of separate investigations and public disputes.
VDM, who shared the recording, said he had kept it for a long time and explained that it was the reason he had previously attempted to contact Davido.
The activist’s release of the audio has now drawn Zinoleesky into another round of public discussion over the events surrounding Mohbad’s death and the claims made about the singer’s relationship with Marlian Records.
Neither the recording’s authenticity nor the full context of the alleged conversation has been independently established from the information available. The claims attributed to Lil Frosh about Davido’s involvement should therefore be treated as allegations rather than confirmed facts.
