Bereaved father cautions public against blaming Naira Marley for Mohbad’s death

Published

on

Joseph Aloba, Mohbad‘s father, has responded to allegations surrounding his son’s death.

Mohbad died on Tuesday at the age of 27 and was buried on Wednesday.

Since his death, there have been speculations and accusations pointing towards Naira Marley, his former label boss.

These claims were fueled by various videos purporting that the late singer was bullied by industry practitioners.

Mohbad’s prior faceoff with Naira Marley and his contentious exit from Marlian records also drove the claims.

In a viral video during his brush with law enforcement, Mohbad had also instructed fans to blame Naira Marley if any harm came to him.

In a recent interview, Aloba said that he has heard about various incidents that occurred with Mohbad, including an attack during a shoot with Zlatan.

However, he added that he cannot attribute his son’s death to Naira Marley.

Aloba said the individuals responsible for the attack were not associated with the label boss.

“I heard a lot of things happened to him; we cannot say it is Naira Marley because he was attacked when he was doing this with Zlatan,” he said.

“We cannot say it is Naira Marley because the people that came are not Naira Marley. We cannot say it is Naira Marley that did it.”

On September 14, Aloba disclosed that Mohbad passed away after an auxiliary nurse was invited to administer an injection.

The police have begun an investigation into Mohbad’s death and mentioned the possibility of exhuming his corpse for an autopsy.

Following Mohbad’s death, over 200,000 people have called for the ban of Marlian Records, Naira Marley’s music label, in a petition.

Ironically, Naira Marley has also mourned Mohbad’s demise and joined the call for a probe into his death.

Gospel singer Testimony Jaga gives Portable 3 days to apologise for slapping preacher

Testimony Jaga, the Nigerian gospel singer, has given Portable a three-day ultimatum to apologise to the preacher he slapped.

The ‘Zazoo Zeh’ hitmaker was heavily criticised on social media on Monday for slapping the man who he claimed was preaching close to his bar.

Jaga, while joining the chorus of condemnation against Portable, said he should have reported to the right authorities if the preacher’s actions were wrong.

In a video shared on his Instagram page, the gospel artiste claimed to have received divine instruction to advocate for the preacher.

He also warned Portable to issue a public apology within three days or face consequences.

“I’m giving you three days to apologise to that man,” he wrote.

“If that man Portable slapped is doing something wrong, can’t he call the law enforcement agencies to arrest him?

“Even if he does not like what the man was doing, he could have easily chased him away not slap him. That is somebody’s father, husband and uncle.

“If the pastor was a famous person who uses security guards, would he have slapped him? It is because the man has no one.

“I’m not against Portable, he might have done it out of pride but if he realises what he did, he should go and apologize to the man and make a video.

“That’s a mockery of someone’s God. Telling the man to go and call his God, is mockery. He has called his God and that’s why someone like me is talking now.

“God has told me to fight for the man. Who are we to judge anyone?”

Dammy Krane petitions police over rift with Davido, demands $500k payment

Dammy Krane has petitioned Kayode Egbetokun, the inspector general of police, over his lingering dispute with Davido.

The feud between the pair started in October 2023 after Krane called out Davido on social media, claiming he owed him for songwriting contributions.

Krane also accused the ‘Assurance’ hitmaker of sabotaging his record deal with Sony Music.

In response to the allegations, Davido labeled Krane “ungrateful” and claimed he received no payment for their collaborations. Davido also mentioned that he provided shelter and support for Krane when he was homeless.

Since then, Krane has continued to attack Davido on social media; even accusing him of being involved in the death of his friend Tagbo Umeike. Tagbo died from alleged alcohol poisoning in October 2017.

Davido dismissed claims and threatened to sue Krane for “defamation of character and cyberbullying”.

In a letter posted on his social media pages, Krane accused Davido of several wrongdoings while addressing five key concerns.

The singer alleged that Davido and his allies are threatening his life. He also called for the re-opening of Tagbo’s death case.

Krane pleaded with the inspector-general to help lift the restrictions on his bank accounts, which he claimed made it difficult for him to access his funds.

The singer also appealed to Egbetokun to get Davido to “pay me all the money he owed for the song ‘Pere’”.

He claimed Davido agreed to pay him $500,000 for their collaborative song but has refused to pay him.
