Zinoleesky Breaks Silence as Released Lil Frosh Call Sparks Marlian Records Controversy

• Zinoleesky has responded to criticism over a recorded conversation with Lil Frosh released by VeryDarkMan, questioning the attention surrounding his decision to record the call.

Nigerian singer Zinoleesky has responded to the controversy surrounding an alleged telephone conversation with fellow musician Lil Frosh, which social media commentator VeryDarkMan released online.

The singer questioned why discussion about the recording had shifted towards his decision to record the conversation and its timing.

His response followed claims by VeryDarkMan that the call took place on September 17, 2023, five days after singer Mohbad’s death.

That date remains attributed to VeryDarkMan; the reports reviewed do not provide independent authentication of when the conversation occurred.

In the circulating recording, a voice identified as Lil Frosh’s claimed that Davido had contacted him and asked him to advise Zinoleesky to leave Marlian Records.

Zinoleesky appeared surprised by the claim and asked whether Davido had specifically requested that he leave the label.

Lil Frosh also claimed that screenshots could support his account of the communication.

VeryDarkMan said he had possessed the recording for some time and linked it to his attempts to contact Davido. These statements remain the participants’ accounts rather than independently established facts about Davido’s involvement.

According to a separate report, Zinoleesky addressed the criticism in a post on X on November 9. His response focused on the circumstances surrounding the recording and the public accusations circulating at the time.

The audio has renewed discussion about relationships between the artistes and Marlian Records. However, its circulation does not establish responsibility for Mohbad’s death, and claims made during the conversation should not be presented as proven findings.
