Famous singer, Naira Marley finally opens up on Mohbad’s demise, as he recounts his side of things.

The Marlian Music executive revealed that at the time of Mohbad’s demise, he was out of the country, and it came as a shock to him when news of his death made headlines.

He remarked that he was saddened when people began to spin out different narratives about his death, despite the fact that he had no hand in it.

Naira Marley said …

“Someone among us said, Mohbad dead. I looked at him, I said, it’s a lie man, he wants to blow again. Exactly what I said, it’s a lie. I said it’s a lie, he wants to blow again. I didn’t even bother. Zeno looked at me straight away. I said, ah, … Like, people should know what they will be saying, you know. I’m like, ah, come on, man, people know we’re not in Nigeria, obviously. Oh, I just said people know we’re not in Nigeria. I went on Instagram. I can see InstaBlog saying Mohbad died of air infection. Okay, I’m like, air infection? All of us saying, was he dead? I’m like, they’re lying, man. Air infection, lying. How can you die of air infection? I’m still saying that. Twitter, boom, boom, boom. Nagamali, finally you’ve killed him. What? Is it a joke? Is it dead for you? But immediately I’m saying they started posting videos from the NDLEA incident. They started posting videos from the fight he had with, on the 4th of October 2022, he had with his manager. They started posting videos from there. Why? I don’t understand. Is that what killed him? You said he died on the… 12th of September, 2023.

You’re posting videos. So I know, I can see already that there’s someone paying the blogs to try changing the narrative from Haley. I’m like, what’s happening here? And the public, really, they’re falling for it. I wasn’t in the country. I can show you my passport stamp. And when I go back to Nigeria, everything, someone even saw us. After we, let me not jump the story. So, it’s still in the restaurant, they’re blaming me, everything. You know, jump in the car, let’s go away. We’re going to Amsterdam because I was planning to shoot the video. But now we can’t even shoot the video, but we still need to go. So we drove, went to Amsterdam.

Can’t even have fun anymore, can’t even shoot the video. Just chilling. Not even chilling, just… I was upset and sad. We didn’t even have time to mourn because of people blaming us for what we didn’t do. So I didn’t really get time to mourn him. Sometimes I tried to… Even when I mourned him, there was a message saying I killed him. I didn’t even get… I was sad. I was trying to mourn him. I didn’t get to mourn him properly. Um… Yeah, the person hold videos to try make you look like. But if we’re in a working country, they’re going to arrest everybody that was in the house with him. In the last 24 hours, 48 hours. They have no reason to arrest me, mate. Mate, I don’t understand. I was not in the country, I was out of the country.

You can see with the stamps, you can see with the videos, I have videos. I have lots of things, but that was it from then, it got serious. Samlari video came up, that video came up, that video Samlari and my body, my body. My first time seeing that video was when we all saw the video. I’m like, what the hell was this? But I wasn’t fast to judge like everybody.

I knew that video was not on that day because Samlagi was not in Nigeria too. Sam Larry traveled out of Nigeria. He was in Dubai, Kenya, Paris country. That’s what made me ask questions. Normally I was really angry like, ah, what? That’s what made me ask questions like, ah, Samlari, what’s up? He said nothing happened. He just saw him. He was explaining something. He said he saw him. Someone told him he was there. He went there. I don’t want to speak for him, but I’m just saying. He said he went there. And he saw him, he said he wants to collect his money. He said he tapped the chair. But I didn’t touch him. I looked at the video again. He didn’t touch him for real. But I can already see they’re posting my videos. So I’m thinking, why are they posting this video now? Did he die there? I mean, what? That’s not what killed him. So I have to ask questions. I’m like, okay, what happened?”

Mohbad: “I’m disappointed Naira Marley forgave Iyabo Ojo after ruining his career” – VeryDarkMan

Controversial activist, Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has expressed disappointment in singer Naira Marley for forgiving Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo over her alleged defamatory remarks about him in the Mohbad case.

Speaking in a video shared on his TikTok page, VDM revealed that he had advised Naira Marley to pursue legal action against Iyabo Ojo for cyberbullying and defamation.

According to him, Iyabo’s accusations damaged the singer’s reputation during the period when public outrage was high following Mohbad’s tragic death.

“I told Naira Marley to detain Iyabo Ojo but he said Allah will judge,” VDM stated. “I told him to lose his cool the moment we enter the Police Commissioner’s office and say Iyabo Ojo’s defamatory remarks have ruined his career and tarnished his image. He said okay, but when he got there and Iyabo apologised in Yoruba, Naira Marley immediately forgave her. I almost died where I was sitting. I was so upset and disappointed.”

VDM also revealed that Naira Marley’s associate, Sam Larry, was equally unhappy with the decision to let things slide.

According to him, Sam Larry protested the forgiveness and became emotional over the situation.

When Sam Larry saw that Naira Marley had accepted Iyabo Ojo’s apology, he protested against it. I was signalling Naira Marley not to accept the apology because I know Iyabo Ojo won’t keep to her end of the agreement. Sam Larry shed tears,” he added.

It will be recalled that both Naira Marley and Sam Larry were previously accused of being involved in Mohbad’s death but were cleared of any wrongdoing by a court four months ago.

Why Should I Fight For Mohbad When His Father Is Quiet – Samklef

Nigerian music producer, Samuel Oguachuba, popularly known as Samklef, has expressed frustration over the lack of appreciation from the music industry and the late singer, Mohbad’s family, for his efforts in seeking justice.

He questioned why he should seek justice for Mohbad when the deceased’s biological father had chosen to remain quiet.

He also dismissed allegations claiming that Verydarkman paid ₦20 million to obtain information about the controversial group chat, involving various celebrities that were allegedly linked to Mohbad’s death.

According to him, the leak came from someone inside the group.

He stated this in a recent video while addressing the ongoing feud between him and the social media activist.

Samklef said, “Verydarkman did not pay anybody 20million to get information regarding the group chat. He said that the person who leaked the chat was inside the group.

If the father of Mohbad is quiet, why should I be fighting? I don’t have any personal interest in this case. Why should I be crying more than the bereaved?

“How will you feel if you were in my shoes, where people are insulting you for having a genuine reason to fight for justice.

“I con sit down think about this whole thing, like why we Dey fight, even the family sef no appreciate wetin we dey do, the judiciary said Naira Marley and Sam Larry are free, did you see me online ranting or questioning that decision?

“The whole industry ganged up against me.”

Samkelf urged everyone involved in the case to cease fighting, emphasising that revenge would not bring solace to Mohbad’s soul as he is yet to be buried.

My brothers revenge is not a solution, because it will keep on dragging on, Mohbads’ soul is not at rest, everyone should cease fire and stop fighting,” the music producer added.

Iyabo Ojo said it would be unfair if top artists fail to protect their younger colleagues who look up to them.

She said, “Wizkid and Tiwa Savage, I need you. These young boys, they come from the slums and ghettos just like most of you did, and they were inspired by you guys to become artists. And they have so much talent. Music is one of the talents that has put Nigeria on the map… These children are making us proud.

“Nigeria is blessed with talents, and we cannot allow any cult or anyone pull them down. We cannot allow anybody pull those children down because their music is what’s giving us joy… We will not allow what Fela Kuti, King Sunny Ade, and 2Baba went through in the hands of record label executives and the authorities to happen to new generational artists.”

“I’m a very wise woman, I know when to fight” — Iyabo Ojo slams Verydarkman

Actress Iyabo Ojo has responded fiercely to claims made by social media activist Verydarkman, who alleged she backed out of an agreement to publicly apologise to Naira Marley and Sam Larry.

Her rebuttal comes hours after Verydarkman shared details of a roundtable discussion at the Nigeria Police Force National Cybercrime Centre (NPF NCCC) held with Naira Marley, Sam Larry, Iyabo Ojo, Tonto Dikeh, and their legal teams, claiming Iyabo had promised to apologise publicly for accusing Naira Marley and Sam Larry of involvement in Mohbad’s death but later reneged.

In a new live TikTok session, Iyabo dismissed Verydarkman’s narrative as manipulative and dishonest, calling him “corny” and “deceitful.”

“So you had to come out and do your normal manipulating tactic. I’m a very wise woman. I’m not like you that’s very deceitful and corny. You’ve tried in all your might to bring me down, but you cannot,”she said.

Iyabo defended her actions, stating she had genuine reasons to speak out at the time. She explained that her reaction was driven by disturbing videos and online reports that emerged after Mohbad died in 2023.
