Don’t use slave trade to justify cybercrime, Ruggedman tells Naira Marley

Rap artiste, Ruggedman, has told colleague, Naira Marley, not to use the slave trade to justify cybercrime.

This is coming after the ‘Issa Goal’ singer said that if anyone knew about slave trade then said persons cannot call cybercrime a criminal offence.

Ruggedman gave a response to the singer via Instagram on Tuesday.

“@nairamarley My brother, I love your music and all but you need to get one thing clear and do not mislead people. Especially kids on social media. You can do Yahoo all you want, but do not disrespect the part of the black race that were sold into slavery by trying to use it to justify cyber crime. The people who bought slaves died ages ago.

“If you want to fight that, then start a cause/movement against the British and America. Who ever owned slaves, but stealing the hard earned money of other people isnt about slavery. You say the Nigerian leaders are looting trillions outta this country, why arent you hacking their accounts and giving back to the people Robin Hood style? I swear I go hail you for that one. But bro respect the black race and dont try to use it to justify cyber crime. E no follow,” he wrote in parts.

Thousands of qualified Nigerians cant get jobs outside Nigeria because of "yahoo". Their families are suffering. Young Nigerians are suspect everywhere they go because of "yahoo". If you want to do it, enjoy. Nobody is stopping you. But remember that if you do the crime, if you are caught you do the time. I got friends that are into it, I dont judge. I got friends who are in jail as we speak for doing it, I dont judge. All man dey hustle. God bless all our hustles and let's hold our leaders accountable. #NigeriaMustBeGreatAgain #NigeriaisForUsAllNotForAParticularTribeOrGroup

Naira Marley made the controversial statement in an Instagram post last week.

On Monday, he asked musician, Simi, why she was looking sad and upset when he saw her at a concert.

Simi had previously asked cybercrime perpetrators not to purchase her music, saying that they were giving Nigeria a bad image internationally.
