Joseph Aloba, father to the late singer, Oladimeji Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, has said he resents Omowunmi, his late son’s wife.

The man said the reason he dislikes Mohbad’s wife was based on his belief that she cast a spell on the son, which did not let him take care of him.

Mohbad’s father revealed this at a Lagos State coroner court on Wednesday, and explained extensively in an audio tape that has gone viral that his son preferred to lavish money on his in-laws than on him, due to alleged magical powers Omowunmi used on him.

He also alleged that the lady was having extramarital affair with other men in Marlian’s house when his son was alive.

“I’m a carpenter and people use to give me a job to build houses for them. But, my son didn’t see me that way. He preferred to give (money) to his in-laws,” he said.

Speaking about how she allegedly slept with other men, he said, “So all that happened was beyond natural, that is the reason why I hate her.”

“And I made mention of something three days ago in the court, that whenever this girl wanted to go and f*ck around, she would add something into indomie (noodles) to cook for my son to sleep off.

“And from there, she would enter another man’s room to f*ck in that Marlian House.”

He revealed he got to know this when the girlfriend of the man he was sleeping with caught her and told Mohbad, and he told him before his demise.

“It was later that the girlfriend of that person she was seeing met her there. That was the person that revealed the secret to Moh, and Moh told me,” he added.

Mohbad allegedly died of ear infection on September 12, 2023, at the age of 27, and his death has since then sparked controversies.

His former boss and popular musician, Azeez Fashola, with the stage name Naira Marly has been in custody over the matter alongside others fingered in his death.

Femi Kuti, a popular Nigerian musician and the first son of the Afrobeat founder, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, has revealed why he left his father’s band.

Femi made the disclosure during his recent appearance on Afropolitan podcast.

Speaking about his decision to part ways with Fela’s music band, Femi Kuti disclosed that he left to discover his own identity because “I did not have any possibility of my life”.

“Growing up in school, everybody would be like ‘aren’t you going to be like your dad or won’t you play music? I was pressured to be like my father.

“If I wanted to play music, I had to be Femi Kuti. I used the same mathematical thought that I cannot be Fela. I began to wear the same outfits with my father because I used to stay with my mother before I ran away to stay with him.

“I was like mini Fela because he usually dresses me like himself. I just thought I should better look for myself fast, or I’m going to be a very unhappy man. So I went back to my mother.

“The moment I formed my band, his fan base descended on me. It was very difficult to find a good write up about me then because the press hated me and at this time, there was no internet for me to defend myself.

“Being under my father, I didn’t have any possibility of my own life, including having children. I saw my life in his life,” the 63-year-old stated

Famous Nigerian songstress Tiwa Savage has made a case for Tems after her name was excluded from Afrobeats’ top three artistes.

The term ‘Big 3’ is widely used to refer to the male trio Davido, Burna Boy, and Wizkid, who are celebrated as Nigeria’s most dominant global musical exports.

However, questioning the criteria used in selecting the ‘Big 3’ in the industry, Tiwa argued that the narrative turns a blind eye to the outstanding achievements of leading women in the Afrobeats genre.

Speaking in an interview with BBC Radio 1Xtra, she challenged the exclusionary labelling of female singers and insisted that Tems deserves top-tier recognition.

“Think about it, Certain types of artistes get paid more. So, they get the opportunity to spend more on influencers and radio play so you are going to hear their music way more.

“Also, I feel like it is unfair to have a conversation about the Top 3 and not mention someone like Tems. Are you serious?” she asked.

Tems rose to fame in 2020 after her collaboration with Wizkid on ‘Essence’.

She earned her first Grammy in 2023 for her contribution to ‘Wait For U’ in 2022.

In 2025, Tems received her second Grammy Award in the ‘Best African Performance’ category.
