Most celebrities have their career dead once combated with scandals but four of Nigerian musicians have been able to rise through scandals, using them as platforms to limelight. Here, we detailed those four Nigerian artistes whose career rose on the back of scandals.

Burna Boy

Burna was reported to have stabbed someone to death sometimes in the UK. He was reported to have been tried as a minor and subsequently jailed. However, in a twist of fate, eleven months after, he was released on parole in recognition of being well-behaved.

Burna returned to Nigeria shortly after the scandal and was signed to Aristokrat records where the journey to stardom began.

It should however be noted that, Damini Ogulu (Burna Boy) denied the allegation.

Chidinma Ekile

The cucumber scandal of Chidinma is still fresh in the memories of most Nigerians. She was alleged to have been caught in a romantic homosexual affair with her best friend, Ada.

However, the scandal was a blessing in disguise as Chidinma's international fame shot up. The popular adult website, Xvideos made moves to invite her as an actress and that made her name known in the international scene.

Skiibi

Skiibi pulled the unimaginable of stunts when he faked his death. For many, it was a desperation taken too far. However, it is undeniable that, most of his songs before the stunt were unknown. In recent years, Skiibi had dropped back to back jamz, from Sensima ft. Reekado Banks to that's how starz do which is currently making waves across the continent.

In a recent interview with OAP Dotun, Skiibi claimed he faked his death because people didn't see beauty in his talent

Naira Marley

Arrested by the EFCC for financial crimes and other related offences, little was known about Afeez Fashola prior to his arrest. His breakthrough came while in EFCC detention. It was reported on Nairaland on August 15 that his music video am I a Yahoo boy ft. Zlatan had hit one million views. That was a massive improvement from the paltry one hundred thousand views before his arrest.

Naira Marley has gone on to release more Jamz and his recent single Soapy is currently the DJ's choice in every party.
