Azeez Fashola popularly known as Naira Marley was reportedly arrested on Friday, May 10, 2019, days after he released a song titled "Am I A Yahoo Boy"

Earlier in April, the singer in an Instagram Post said anyone who knew about slave trade would not criminalize internet fraud. 

However, Ruggedman in an interview with City FM on Friday has reacted to Naira Marley’s arrest saying he’s yet to see anyone go to EFCC office to protest against his arrest.

In another interview with Hip TV, Ruggedman urged to Naira Marley to stop celebrating fraud.

He said; "For a young upcoming artist like him, he shouldn’t be doing stuff like that. You don’t just come out and start celebrating fraud. Especially something, nothing not just in Nigeria but the whole world is frowning upon. You don’t want to know how they look at Nigerians abroad because of fraud. Does two wrongs make a right?

In his response, Naira Marley fired back at Ruggedman asking him to spend his time writing lyrics to resurrect his career rather than writing advice.
