According to reports, fans at the concert defied the social distancing order as stipulated by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), they trooped out of their vehicles to the stage ground to witness Naira Marley's performance.

Similarly in a trending video, Naira Marley and former Big Brother Naija housemate, Kim Oprah were both seen alighting from a private plane despite restrictions placed on air travels by the Presidential task force (PTF) on COVID-19.

Many Nigerians have taken to social media to criticise the actions of Naira Marley. They described the concert as a setback to Nigeria's fight against the ravaging COVID-19 pandemic.
