On Friday, March 21, singer Afeez Fashola, known as Naira Marley, participated in the coroner court hearing regarding Ilerioluwa Aloba, also known as Mohbad, via a virtual platform.
As the head of the Marlian label, Naira Marley faced backlash on social media following Mohbad’s death. He reflected on signing Mohbad to his label in 2019 and noted that Mohbad left in September 2022.
Naira Marley stated that he never had any disputes or disagreements with Mohbad, mentioning that the only conflict Mohbad experienced was with his manager, Tunde.
“Their fight started from a group chat which I still have the evidence with me. I tried to settle their differences but it got out of hand to the extent that they got physical. I even gave Mohbad the option of changing his manager if that would make him happy. When they got physical I didn’t report to the police because it was Mohbad that employed Tunde,” he said.
Naira Marley disclosed that he never threatened or bullied Mohbad. “Sam Larry is a friend to both me and Mohbad. I never instructed him to be beating Mohbad. I never cheated him neither did I exploit him,” he said.
The singer, who revealed he requested for a virtual hearing because of his safety said he received threats to his life.
He, however, revealed he was waiting for a family representative to come for Mohbad’s royalties. “Concerning his royalties, Ever since Mohbad d!ed, I have never spent one pin from his money. His money is still with me. I am waiting for the right person to come from his family so that I can give the money to the person. “I will advise the court to arrest all the people that were with him 24 hours before he d!ed, the people that invited him to the show and the people that were in the car with him,” he said.
