Azeez Fashola, also known as Naira Marley in the music industry, is a Nigerian street hop musician who has advised his followers not to believe everything they read or hear.

The “Soapy” crooner offered the advise in a post on his X handle, which was once Twitter. He stated that in order to prevent unintentionally hurting others, one should make an effort to confirm news that is spread by bad actors.

Additionally, he counselled against following things about which one is unsure of one’s expertise because everyone would be held accountable for their hearing, sight, and intelligence.

Naira Marley tweeted; “O believers, if an evildoer brings you any news, verify ‘it’ so you do not harm people unknowingly, becoming regretful for what you have done. Quran 49:6 (Al-hujurat).

“Do not follow what you have no ‘sure’ knowledge of. Indeed, all will be called to account for ‘their’ hearing, sight, and intellect. Quran 17:36.

And do not walk on the earth arrogantly. Surely you can neither crack the earth nor stretch to the height of the mountains. Quran 17:37”.
