This was Naira Marley’s 12th mansion registered in his name in Lekki as of 2022. Currently, he owns 14 mansions under his name.
If you’re wondering what he’s doing with them, don’t forget—he’s one of the biggest landlords in Lekki and Ajah.
What’s surprising, though, is that Naira Marley only started acquiring property in Nigeria in 2019. Before then, he was a UK citizen and didn’t own any property in Nigeria. He used to stay in hotels whenever he visited, until he realized that he had more fans in Nigeria than in the UK. That was when he decided to move and start living in Nigeria.
Naira Marley was already a superstar in the UK, having started his music career in 2014. His first song gained popularity the same year. Since he grew up in the UK, he built his music career there and became successful. However, at that time, not many Nigerians knew about him.
Things began to change when he came to Nigeria to release “Issa Goal” in 2017, and later “Am I A Yahoo Boy” in 2019. After those releases, he realized that his Nigerian fan base was growing fast—eventually becoming even bigger than his UK following. That’s when he decided to settle in Nigeria and start acquiring property here.
You might be wondering how he’s achieved so much in Nigeria in such a short time. Well, it’s because Naira Marley was already wealthy while living in the UK. He reportedly owned two hotels and multiple properties, and inherited a lot from his late father, who was a successful businessman in the UK.
That’s why Naira Marley once said that music didn’t even bring him 10% of his wealth—he does music simply because he loves it.
And that’s also why he doesn’t seem too bothered about the “cancel culture” or controversies around his name. He’s said before that his music is for Marlians, and he doesn’t really care who listens or who doesn’t
