Badmus Opetodolapo, the former Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, has revealed the severe criticism she faced for speaking out against Naira Marley, the head of Marlian Records.
Her comments came in the wake of singer Mohbad’s tragic death on September 12th, 2023.
Taking to her Instagram page, Opetodolapo addressed the controversies and explained how she was lambasted for her previous comments on Naira Marley’s lifestyle and his posts regarding women’s bodies back in 2019. She shared:
“When I singlehandedly spoke up against this character and the imminent danger it portrays, I was bashed both inside and out. A danger left unchecked can become a multifaceted problem. My condolences go out to the departed and all that he represented.”

Opetodolapo recounted being labeled an “Instagram police” by the singer, recalling his tweet that said, “Having a big booty is better than having a master’s degree.” In response, she had posted:
“So having a big body part is now better than having educational or vocational qualifications? I still can’t get over this! We need to restore sanity to our system and stop tolerating public nuisance. It’s mediocrity for anyone to applaud an obviously delinquent and unproductive individual hiding under the guise of making music, obnoxious music for that matter.
“My advice to younger ones: let no one confuse you that having a good body part is great, but having educational or vocational qualifications is more important! In fact, it’s non-negotiable! Your body part cannot give you sustainable existence; only good educational or vocational qualifications will do. Be guided!”
Her post included hashtags like #saynotoharddrugs and #harddrugdestroys.
In response to her comments, Naira Marley retorted with, “This Instagram police wants to have sex with me but she is really ugly.”
