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.”

Nollywood actress, Regina Daniels said she is no longer interested in marriage after her messy separation from her estranged husband, Senator Ned Nwoko.

The mother of two, however, said she is still much interested in having more children, vowing that she must have a daughter.

Speaking during a recent livestream with Tiktoker Jarvis, Daniels explained that she wants to her a daughter because she believes daughters care more for their parents during old age.

“I want to have six children and I have two already, two boys. It so crazy but for some reason I have checked my mind out from getting married. But I am going to have a girl and I must have a girl.

“Men will grow, get married and and focus more on building family. But for women she will always remember home,” she added.

Regina Daniels and her estranged husband, Ned Nwoko, got married in 2019, sparking public outrage due to 40-year age gap between the actress, who was only 19 then, and the billionaire politician.

They share two children; all boys.

In late 2025, their marriage hit a highly public crisis following allegations by Nwoko that the actress was struggling with drug and alcohol abuse and requiring rehabilitation.

Regina Daniels swiftly debunked the allegations and accused Nwoko of manipulation, psychological control, and abuse.

Shortly after, she walked away from the marriage and moved into her own house.

Ever since, she has maintained that she is now single.

Nigerian entrepreneur and socialite, Pascal Chibuike Okechukwu, also known as Cubana Chief Priest, has opened up on his fallout with singer Burna Boy, alleging that the music star publicly attacked him because of his close relationship with Davido.

Speaking during an interview on The Beat 99.9 FM on Wednesday, Cubana Chief Priest said his journey to success began from apprenticeship and years of hard work, adding that fame and financial growth often attract envy and criticism.

“Success comes with a lot of hate. I started my journey from apprenticeship and service and I learnt so much about growth and perseverance. When you start becoming successful, you understand how people treat you.

“I was on my own and Burna Boy came for me, went on his big platform and started tweeting things that are not genuine, things that are not possible, things that have not existed and the attack was straight to my wealth.

“So he wanted to make people look at my wealth, disrespect my wealth, I felt bad and that happened because of my relationship with Davido,” he said.

He further stated that Davido has consistently supported his businesses and personal projects.

“David is always there for me. He opened all my nightclubs, restaurants, everything. He always shows up to support me.

“He’s investing in clubs in Lagos, and I’m making music to prove a point that I can,” he added.
