A video making rounds on social media has set tongues wagging. Naira Marley was spotted at a luxury car dealership in Lagos, checking out a black 2025 electric Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon alongside his close associate, Sam Larry. The clip shows the two inspecting the SUV, opening its doors, and chatting with the dealer. The reported price tag? A staggering ₦740 million.
Fans and Critics React
Almost instantly, reactions flooded X and Instagram. Some fans were quick to congratulate him, praising his taste for high-end rides. But many others questioned where the money came from. With Marley’s music not dominating the charts lately, critics asked whether such a purchase was really funded by streams and shows. Comments like
@erickson_egbon Where una dey see this money?”
and
@Contentisready Hope say no be Mohbad money?
echoed through timelines, linking the moment back to the unresolved controversies around Marley’s name.
The car, reportedly sourced from Adraff Motors, is said to have been fully paid for. The dealership is known for supplying luxury rides to celebrities, and Marley’s choice of an electric G-Wagon positions him in a very exclusive class of owners. Beyond the luxury, the fact that it’s electric adds an extra layer of conversation; some see it as a forward-thinking move, others call it a flex.
Why the Timing Matters
What makes the story even juicier is the timing. Nigeria’s economy is in a tight squeeze, and displays of wealth are often met with suspicion. Marley has also been under public scrutiny since his fallout with the late Mohbad, with ongoing debates about money, royalties, and accountability. For critics, this purchase feels less like a simple lifestyle choice and more like a statement that demands questioning.
Still, a section of his fan base sees it differently. They believe the G-Wagon signals his comeback, proof that Marley is still in the game and ready to make noise again. One fan wrote, “Congrats Marley, I know he will bounce back.” Others, however, aren’t convinced, suggesting music might just be the cover, not the source.
In the end, what should have been just another flashy celebrity buy has turned into a trending topic about money, image, and perception. Naira Marley may be enjoying his new ride, but the public is clearly more interested in what’s under the hood of his finances.
For now, Marley’s electric G-Wagon may be parked in his garage, but the bigger question still drives on: who’s really fueling the lifestyle?
