On November 22, 2025, Zinoleesky ignited massive speculation after posting a cryptic message hinting at feeling "used" and out of alignment with his label's vision, words many linked directly to lingering tensions at Marlian Music.
The post, quickly deleted, read like a subtle cry for help: the singer spoke of being powerless despite his efforts, echoing old wounds from Mohbad's tragic exit and death two years prior.
Fans immediately connected the dots. "Is Zino finally breaking free?" trended as screenshots spread, with some spotting cleared Marlian references online.
Enter Sam Larry, the controversial businessman long tied to Naira Marley and the label.
On November 23, 2025, he fired back at the rumors with a direct post dismissing any separation, complete with laughing emojis and firm denial that Zinoleesky was leaving.
Tagging the Marlian boss and Zino, he said “As they gossip, the Love is getting stronger. ONE BIG FAMILY 💯 NBG For Life✌️”
Sources close to the camp insist the singer remains signed, calling the drama a misunderstanding blown out of proportion.
Yet the timing raises eyebrows. Just months ago, sightings of Zino with Sam Larry fueled health concerns among fans, and Mohbad's shadow still looms large over Marlian.
For now, Sam Larry's swift reaction has poured cold water on exit talks, but in Naija music industry, cryptic posts often speak louder than denials.
Is this truly the end of the speculation, or just the calm before another storm?
