But in a conversation with former presidential media aide Reno Omokri on Wednesday night, Naira Marley maintained that he had no hand in Mohbad’s death.
He stated that he had on multiple occasions tried to get help for the late rapper when his (Mohbad) partner informed him of the late singer’s suicidal behaviour.
He said, “When I visited him in the company of his mum and dad, I went to see him in the room. He said only his mum and dad knew what was wrong with him. His mum and dad said they wanted to take care of him, and I begged them to take care of him and not allow anything to happen to him.
Since the sad and sudden death of Nigerian musician Mohbad days ago, the entertainment industry has been buzzing. The dispute surrounding his ostensibly sinister death rages on.
The authorities have apparently planned to exhume his body by September 18th at midnight, adding another twist to the never-ending story.
“The reason why I made a video of my conversation with him was after the allegation, and his girl called me that he locked himself up and wanted to kill himself.
“When I spoke with him. He later apologised. And he said he was feeling paranoid that was the reason. I spoke to him to free his mind of worries and negative thoughts.”
Comedian Obaksolo said in a video shared by Iyabo Ojo that he had just gotten off the phone with Mohbad’s father and that they had decided to exhume his remains either midnight or first thing in the morning.
Naira Marley is one of the notable figures associated with this tragedy. Following the rumors linking him to Mohbad’s death, Naira Marley’s follower count has continued to fall.

“Continuation: aside his record label boys he has other young boys he recruit who helps in carrying out his drug business, one thing led to another, he started restricting Mohbad from going out alone, if he goes out he sees people trailing him, it was that bad, he then confided in some of his friends and they told him to run for his dear life if not it’s a life time contract or they take his life, on hearing that he summoned Naira Marley that he wants to leave the record label that was the beginning of his nightmare, Naira refused saying he can’t just opt out like that, this degenerated into serious arguement and Mohbad was Beaten blue black by Naira Marley boys, one of his arm even got broken in the process, Bella was in the know of all these happening, he was updating Bella how things were going, he manage to stay in the record label for a month more then one evening he wrote a letter as advised by friends, trying to make it official that he wants to leave the record label, Naira Marley tore the letter right in front of him and walk him out, that night Mohbad said he was done and walked out on his boss Naira, Naira on the other hand seeing that he like this boy don mean business he went out to plan with the NDLEA officials to come raid Mohbad so that even when they finally fall out and Mohbad tries to say all he knows, people will call him a drug addict and not pay attention to his words, luckily that day when NDLEA raided their house, he went on live and spill some things but Naira was ready for the damage control, he said it was drug that made him say such things and he has abused drugs a lot, he was taken to the hospital after the NDLEA saga even though nothing was wrong with him, few days after he was discharged, his team reached out to me and said he was contemplating suicide, that I should please save them from Naira that they are small boys trying to fend for themselves, I told them to write another letter and send to Naira, if he tears it or not this time around, it’s on him, they wrote the letter and sent me a copy, after I got the letter I then wrote a warning post( I don’t know if anybody remember) I did a warning post telling Naira to leave Mohbad alone.”
