Zinoleesky questions focus on recording timing as VDM releases call with Lil Frosh about Davido
Zinoleesky has responded to the controversy sparked by VeryDarkMan (VDM) releasing an alleged phone conversation between him and Lil Frosh, reportedly recorded on September 17, 2023—five days after Mohbad's death. In the recording, Lil Frosh claims Davido contacted him and asked him to advise Zinoleesky to leave Marlian Records. Zinoleesky appeared surprised in the call, asking: "Davido called you to ask me to leave?"
Lil Frosh further alleged that Davido wanted him to warn Zinoleesky to exit the label and claimed he could provide screenshots of his conversation with Davido. VDM stated he had kept the recording for a long time and that it was the reason he attempted to reach Davido.
Zinoleesky's reaction shifts focus to why the recording was made days after the country accused them of involvement in Mohbad's death, rather than the content itself. The dispute involves multiple artists including SamLarry and Peller weighing in on social media.
With Marlian Records' reputation already under scrutiny since Mohbad's passing, this recording adds another layer to ongoing industry tensions. What does this reveal about power dynamics between established stars and emerging artists in Nigeria's music scene?
