Abubakar Musa, popularly known as Gucci Branch, has publicly called out Naira Marley and Zlatan, along with Poco Lee, for abandoning him after his time in the trenches.
In an interview with content creator Romantik Eye, Gucci Branch detailed how Naira Marley and Zlatan turned their backs on him, and how Poco Lee allegedly used his account to gain fame. The associate of Marlian Music Boss, Afeez Fashola, also known as Naira Marley, expressed his frustration during the interview, revealing that despite their shared history, he has been left behind.
Gucci Branch, who gained some attention through a viral EFCC photo, mentioned that Naira Marley and Zlatan have not kept him updated, instead avoiding him and telling people that he’s no longer alive. When asked if he still communicates with artists like Davido and Burna Boy, Gucci Branch stated that they still inquire about him, but his former associates refuse to inform them of his whereabouts. He emphasized that Davido would never forget him, and even recalled appearing in a music video with Tiwa Savage, highlighting his past connections in the industry.

Meanwhile, the criminal trial of Nigerian singer Azeez Fashola, aka Naira Marley, was delayed once again at a Federal High Court in Lagos. The trial was postponed because of a pending application for fiat awaiting approval from the Chief Judge of the court.
The prosecutor, Mrs. Bilikisu Buhari, informed Justice Isaac Dipeolu about the application, which would allow the former judge to continue presiding over Naira Marley’s trial. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had initially charged Naira Marley with cybercrime offenses on May 14, 2019. The charges alleged that he conspired to use different Access Bank ATM cards to defraud victims and possessed counterfeit credit cards with the intent to commit fraud.
The court granted Naira Marley bail, and although the trial had commenced, the case was delayed due to the transfer of the former judge, Justice Nicholas Oweibo. The trial has now been adjourned until May 30, 2024, for a further report.
