Controversial singer, Abdulazeez Fashola, popularly known as Naira Marley, has urged fans to hold him accountable for his actions and to stop attributing his lifestyle to his religion.

He stated that while Islam is “perfect,” Muslims are not.

He urged fans to hold him accountable for his mistakes, rather than blaming his religion.

On his X handle, the singer wrote, “Islam is perfect, Muslims are not. If I make mistake, blame me, but not my religion.”

His post elicited mixed reactions. Read some of the comments below:

@Mr_Lasdon wrote, “This is why Muslims are encouraged to act according to the teaching of Islam, we should always reflect and be good ambassador to our religion.”

@Olumachoo wrote, “Well said! Islam, like any faith, is pure. It’s people who fall short. Judge individuals, not the religion.”

@MD_Jatta wrote, “Oh no, you’re the perfect representation of your religion—flaws and all.

“By the way, if you can read actual Arabic (which I can), I’ll pick a song from your terrible playlist and torture my ears with it all day long.”

@ObinnaCEO added, “No religion is perfect, just as no human is. Faith is meant to guide, not to claim superiority. What matters is how we live, treat others, and strive for truth.”
