Lagos socialite and music promoter, Sam Larry, has confronted singer Lil Frosh over a leaked phone conversation involving Afrobeats star Davido and Marlian Records singer Zinoleesky, demanding an explanation for what he described as the rapper’s apparent change of position.
Sam Larry made the remarks in a video circulating on social media amid controversy surrounding an alleged phone conversation released by activist Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM).
In the video, Sam Larry questioned Lil Frosh over claims that Davido had contacted him to persuade Zinoleesky to leave Marlian Records and join his 30BG music camp.
He urged Lil Frosh not to allow himself to be intimidated, insisting that he should stand by his earlier account rather than distance himself from the claims contained in the recording.
The confrontation followed VDM’s release of an alleged telephone conversation between Lil Frosh and Zinoleesky, which the activist claimed was recorded on September 17, 2023.
In the recording, Lil Frosh reportedly told Zinoleesky that Davido had reached out to him, asking him to advise the singer to leave Marlian Records.
Zinoleesky appeared surprised by the revelation and questioned whether Davido had personally contacted Lil Frosh to make such a request.
VDM said he had kept the recording for an extended period before deciding to release it publicly. He linked the disclosure to his efforts to get Davido to explain the alleged communication.
The activist also drew attention to the timing of the conversation, which reportedly took place five days after the death of former Marlian Records artiste, Mohbad, on September 12, 2023.
Zinoleesky subsequently reacted to the controversy, questioning why public attention had shifted to the circumstances surrounding the recording rather than the issues raised in the conversation.
Sam Larry’s intervention has further heightened the dispute, with his direct challenge to Lil Frosh raising fresh questions about the circumstances surrounding the alleged communication and the singer’s account of events.
The development has reignited discussions about relationships and tensions among personalities in the Nigerian music industry, particularly in the aftermath of Mohbad’s death and the controversies that followed.
