Nigerian dancer Lil Smart has made a shocking U-turn, retracting his previous claims against singer Naira Marley. In a recent video, Lil Smart admitted that he made a mistake by mentioning Naira Marley’s name in his assault allegations.

Recall that Lil Smart was arrested by the police on February 6, 2025, over alleged defamation and cyberstalking of Naira Marley. However, in a new video, Lil Smart claimed that Naira Marley was not present when he was assaulted and that he made an error by implicating him.
Lil Smart revealed that Naira Marley’s boys were at the scene of the incident, which led him to mistakenly assume that the singer was involved. He apologized for the mistake and acknowledged that he should have reported the incident to the police instead of making claims on social media.
The dancer’s retraction has sparked mixed reactions from netizens, with some praising him for owning up to his mistake and others criticizing him for initially making false claims.
