Nigerian singer Zinoleesky has posted an unsettling message about being “powerless” in the music industry.

Shared through the Instagram Stories section of his verified Instagram page, the post immediately sparked conversations.

More troubling is that it is especially because it comes exactly two years after the passing of Mohbad, his former labelmate.

The father of two suggested that he has been taken advantage of and may no longer be aligned with the vision or leadership of Marlian Music, owned by Naira Marley.

Zinoleesky wrote: “I am standing up not just for myself but for every artist who has ever felt powerless or taken advantage of. We deserve better. We deserve transparency, fairness, and respect.”

Before Mohbad died in 2023, he released several videos accusing Marlian Records of physical intimidation, emotional torment, and threats to his life.

He specifically mentioned Zinoleesky at the time, calling him a “snitch” — a claim that created a sharp divide among fans.

Zino never defended Mohbad publicly. Instead, he stayed silent through the chaos, earning criticism from those who felt he abandoned his colleague.

Now, two years later, his sudden declaration of being “taken advantage of” has people connecting dots that were previously ignored.

Though he did not directly mention Naira Marley or the label, Zinoleesky’s message gives the impression of someone reaching the breaking point.
