In a bold move, Nigerian singer Zinoleesky has officially parted ways with Marlian Music, the record label headed by Naira Marley. The announcement came on Thursday, April 23, 2026, marking the end of a seven-year partnership.
Zinoleesky’s decision to go independent follows ongoing rumors of an alleged falling out with Naira Marley, which had been circulating since late 2025. While these speculations stirred controversy, Zinoleesky had previously dismissed them, reaffirming his loyalty to the Marlian imprint. However, the singer has now chosen to take control of his career, ushering in a new chapter with his own record label, Zinodict Music.
The shift to independence was officially revealed on Friday, with Zinoleesky releasing his first single under the new label, “Nostalgia”, via his social media platforms. The single has already gained attention, signaling a fresh direction for the artist.
Fans quickly noticed that Zinoleesky had updated his social media bio to reflect his new label, further solidifying his commitment to this new phase of his career.
As Zinoleesky embarks on this exciting new journey, the music world eagerly awaits what the rising star will offer next under Zinodict Music.
