Chuckie is back for the second season of Noisey’s global rap series ‘Gangsta Rap International’. This time round he’s in Nigeria to meet the most celebrated and controversial rapper – the ‘Marlian President’ ­– Naira Marley. Born in Nigeria but raised in Peckham (south London, UK), he was a part of the notorious ‘No Mannaz’ gang who were known for dishing out vicious violence. He was arrested over 124 times. He turned his life around when he found music and became one of Nigeria’s biggest afrobeats sensations, whose diehard fanbase (known as the ‘Marlians’) worship him like a god.
