As the investigation into the death of the late singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, aka MohBad, continues, more details about his relationship with erstwhile label boss Afeeze Fashola, popularly known as Naira Marley, have begun to emerge.

In an exclusive interview with social commentator Reno Omokri, Naira Marley addressed concerns and rumours before and after the demise of MohBad.

MohBad died on September 12, 2023, leaving behind a five-month-old son.

Before his untimely death, MohBad shared multiple clips of his battered body, where he claimed to have been attacked by men allegedly affiliated with Marlian Music, the record label owned by Naira Marley.

MohBad signed a record deal with Naira Marley’s label in 2019 and exited in 2022, following issues surrounding the deceased’s need for a change of manager.

Here are seven takeaways from Naira Marley’s interview with Omokri, released Wednesday, September 27.

(1) Naira Marley maintained his innocence in the circumstances that led to MohBad’s death. He added that he had been abroad since August 31, visiting family and had yet to return.

(2) The Marlian Music boss also addressed a now-viral clip of MohBad asking people to hold Marlian Music responsible should he lose his life.

Discussing the clip, Naira Marley stated that paranoia made the deceased create the video. He said MohBad made the footage shortly after officials of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency arrested some affiliates of the Marlian Music label.

He claimed he met with MohBad upon returning to Nigeria, and the deceased apologised for mentioning his name and that of the music label.

“When I got back, I met him, and he said he did not understand and apologised. I Have videos of me speaking with him,” Naira Marley stated.

(3) Naira Marley also alleged that MohBad was suicidal. He recounted a discussion with MohBad’s partner, who confirmed the singer was suicidal. According to Naira Marley, his troubles came mainly from his family.

“I was in America when his girl called me to tell me that he had locked himself in the toilet and attempted to kill himself.”

(4) Naira Marley also talked about MohBad’s mental health struggles, adding that the deceased’s parents were aware of it.

“He wanted to commit suicide again. I had to look out for him, so I tried finding out what was wrong with him so I could help, but he (MohBad) said only his parents knew what was wrong with him.

“I spoke to the parents, and they said they noticed he is not okay, but they need to take him somewhere for treatment.”

(5)Naira Marley also denied assaulting Mohbad. The artiste also confirmed his friendship with Samson Eletu, aka Sam Larry, also fingered in MohBad’s death.

(6) On Speculations that he receives royalties on MohBad’s records, Naira Marley denied this claim, saying he does not get paid for music released after the deceased departed from his label in 2022.

(7) Naira Marley also addressed rumours claiming he is responsible for DJ Splash’s ill health. According to the ‘Soapy’ crooner, this is a lie.

“DJ Splash was never signed to Marlian Music. He is not my DJ, and he got the name following a picture he took with me.

“When what happened to him, he was not at my house. I have no idea where all this is coming from. They are all lies.”

Senator Ned Nwoko’s Moroccan wife, Laila Charani, has accused her co-wife, Regina Daniels, of introducing her to illicit drugs.

She made the allegation in a recent post on Instagram after Daniels claimed that her husband’s other wives were also into drugs.

Charani claimed that it was her husband’s quick intervention that saved her from losing her marriage after Regina Daniels introduced her to drug addiction.

She also claimed that the only reason Regina Daniels is fighting with their husband is because he wants her to stop drug and alcohol addiction, stressing that the lawmaker doesn’t smoke nor take alcohol.

Charani further accused Regina Daniels of lesbianism, claiming that she sleeps with girls.

“You know too well that I almost lost my marriage when you introduced me to drugs 6 years ago and it was my husband’s quick insistence on intervention that rescued me from that dark path.

“You have been a bad influence since you married into this beautiful family giving drugs to nannies and our workers, including your younger sister Destiny.

“You infested everyone with your virus and this is why I will not trust my daughters around you unsupervised especially when I found out that you were sleeping with every single girl around you,” she wrote.

Grammy-winning Nigerian singer, Damini Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy, has sparked controversy after he ordered a couple out of his concert in Denver, United States, on Wednesday night, for allegedly sleeping midway into his performance.

The drama began when the singer paused his set and asked a male fan to take his girlfriend “home” for sleeping during his performance.

“When I stand up here [on the stage] and see you over there with your girl sleeping in the front of me, it pisses me the f**k up. So, please, take her the f**k home… Walahi I’m not performing another song till you go home,” Burna Boy fumed.

At first, the couple, especially the lady, was reluctant, but eventually left after the crowd started demanding they leave as Burna Boy vowed not to perform another song until their exit.

Burna Boy resumed his performance after the couple left the concert.

His action has sparked mixed reactions, with many berating him for kicking ticket holders out of his concert.

Recall that Burna Boy previously made similar headlines after he kicked a starstruck male fan who stormed the stage to hug him while he was performing.

He also once asked a fan to leave his concert for not dancing while he was performing.

The singer has earned a reputation for controversially kicking fans out of his concert for trivial reasons.
