A quick look at his social media accounts reveals that the musician has a new single, Nostalgia, on the way.

Legit.ng recalls reporting that Zinoleesky posted an unsettling message about being “powerless” in the music industry.
Shared through the Insta-stories section of his verified Instagram page, the post immediately ignited conversations.
More troubling is that it is especially because it comes exactly two years after the passing of Mohbad, his former labelmate.
The father of two suggested that he has been taken advantage of and may no longer be aligned with the vision or leadership of Marlian Music, owned by Naira Marley.
Zinoleesky wrote:
“I am standing up not just for myself but for every artist who has ever felt powerless or taken advantage of. We deserve better. We deserve transparency, fairness, and ,.”
Before Mohbad died in 2023, he released several videos accusing Marlian Records of physical intimidation, emotional torment, and threats to his life.
He specifically mentioned Zinoleesky at the time, calling him a “snitch” — a claim that created a sharp divide among fans.
Zino never defended Mohbad publicly. Instead, he stayed silent through the chaos, earning criticism from those who felt he abandoned his colleague.
Now, two years later, his sudden declaration of being “taken advantage of” has people connecting dots that were previously ignored.
Though he did not directly mention Naira Marley or the label, Zinoleesky’s message gives the impression of someone reaching the breaking point.

Zinoleesky picks who to save between Davido, Burna and Wizkid
Legit.ng earlier reported that Zinoleesky was almost left confused after a question was thrown at him by skit maker Habeeb Hamzat, aka Peller.
The streamer had been hosting several celebrities on his live TikTok sessions, and he recently had a session with Zinoleesky.
Before the singer left the live stream, Peller asked him a tricky question about his colleagues. According to Peller, if Davido, Burna Boy, and Wizkid were all drowning, who would Zinoleesky save?
