On 10 May 2020, the EFCC arrested Naira Marley and his friends Zlatan, Tiamiu Kayode, Adewunmi Moses, Micheal “Taqueesh” Adenuga, and Abubakar Musa. The arrest was made a day after Marley released the video for the controversial single “Am I A Yahoo Boy”. Five days later, the EFCC released Zlatan and three others but kept Marley in custody due to the evidence against him. On 16 May 2020, the EFCC charged him with 11 counts of fraud before a Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos.
On 19 May 2020, Zlatan released the single “4 Nights In Ekohtiebo” while Marley was still in prison. In it, he talks about his industry friends, foes, and other people who he admired and how they came through for him. In May 2020, Marley was arraigned before the Federal High Court and pleaded not guilty; a bail hearing was set for 30 May 2020.
On the day of the bail hearing, Marley released “Why”, a song that was accompanied by an image of him in handcuffs. On 14 June 2020, he was released from jail 14 days after being granted ₦2,000,000 bail. A few days later, he released “Soapy”, a track about the sexual habits of inmates in detention.
