Naira Marley Finally Speaks on Mohbad’s Death — Two Years After
After two years of silence, Naira Marley (Azeez Fashola) has broken his silence on the tragic death of his former signee, Mohbad, in a powerful and emotional statement that’s igniting conversation across Nigeria’s music scene.
His Response to the Accusations
In a video posted on YouTube this week, Marley—who was acquitted by a Magistrate Court in Yaba—stated clearly, “I didn’t bully, kill Mohbad.” He recounted their relationship with surprising candidness:
He disclosed that Mohbad had struggled with substance use, explaining that he called to check on him and gave advice—but never forced any behavior.
Marley emphasized that their arrangement was straightforward: he paid everything, and they split proceeds 50-50.
He pulled up evidence—WhatsApp chats—from 2020 showing Mohbad visited a hospital.
“I Have Been Broken, But I Am Not Destroyed”
Following the court’s February ruling that cleared him and others of involvement, Marley poured his heart out in a public post:
“I never thought silence could be so loud… someone I called my brother, someone I protected… would leave this world with my name in his shadow.”
