‘Am I a Yahoo boy’ crooner, Naira Marley narrates how he suddenly changed from being an investor to singer in the music industry.
“I had just made my first big money (in England). 250K (250,000 pounds).I didn’t plan to, I didn’t even mean to go into the studio.
My plan was people freestyling around me were so talented. My plan was to invest in them.
So eventually, we went into the studio, we had so much time and they made lots of records, you know. But we had too much time on our hands, I made just one song.
By the time we left the studio; imagine we had 10 songs, but it was my song that everybody was singing, so I was just baffled, you know.
People kept forcing me to send them the song. Everyone around me already knew the lyrics.
So, one day we were chilling when one of my friends with a camera told me to shoot a video (for the song) with the camera.
We shot the video unplanned and it had like four million views in three weeks. Basically, that’s how I got into music and I can’t stop.”
When asked on whether he made the money legally or illegally, he said, “I was just making money.”
