Although brief, the statement has sparked speculation among fans and followers who believe it was directed at Iyabo Ojo.

Understandably, the singer and Iyabo Ojo have had a rocky history, particularly in the aftermath of the controversial death of rising artist Mohbad. Iyabo was among those who strongly condemned Naira Marley and his label, Marlian Music, over the alleged bullying and harassment of the late singer.
Verydarkman drags Iyabo Ojo
Naira Marley’s recent post, though not explicitly naming anyone, has been widely seen as a calculated jab due to the distressing situation Iyabo Ojo has found herself in as a result of ruthless online attacks from Verydarkman.
Verydarkman, who has been rolling out evidence upon evidence in the past few days, called out Iyabo Ojo, accusing her of victimising Naira Marley with Mohbad's death instead of pursuing justice.

Iyabo Ojo can't withstand the pressure - Upcoming Singer
Sharing his two cents on the matter, Mr. Tomisin Adeniyi threw jabs at Iyabo Ojo
He said:
"Apparently, the so called "Queen Mother", Iyabo Ojo has relocated to Canada because she couldn’t handle the pressure anymore? What happened to all that confidence and boldness she used to show, especially with her hair bonnet and fearless attitude?
Isn’t it interesting how things have changed? She was once so outspoken and unbothered, but now it seems like she’s stepping back when things get intense.
Well, at the end of the day, we’re all going to leave this world one day. Life comes at everyone differently."
