Tragically, the world of music is mourning the untimely loss of Ifeoluwa Oladimeji Aloba, popular known as Mohbad, who has passed away at the tender age of 27.
This sorrowful news, reported by entertainment journalist Ovie on X, informs us that the singer departed on Tuesday, September 12, 2023.
However, the precise cause of his demise remains unconfirmed as Kemi Filani is yet to ascertain the details surrounding his passing.
Prior to this tragic event, Mohbad’s colleague, Bella Shmurda, shed light on the singer’s tumultuous journey, including a near-suicidal struggle.
Bella disclosed Mohbad’s difficulties with his record label, Marlians, owned by Naira Marley, and highlighted the pivotal role played by his girlfriend in saving him from despair.
Bella Shmurda did not mince words in condemning Naira Marley and his label for masking the internal issues plaguing Mohbad’s career. This candid revelation exposes the facade of harmony portrayed by Marlian Records.
It is public knowledge that Mohbad signed with Naira Marley’s “Marlian Records” but eventually parted ways with the label in 2022. The artist himself shared videos last year depicting an alleged assault by Naira Marley’s crew after he expressed a desire to change his manager. Naira Marley responded with counterclaims, refuting Mohbad’s allegations.
In response to these developments, Mohbad issued a comprehensive statement countering Naira Marley’s version of events. In this statement, he categorically refuted the label owner’s account as false and expressed his unwavering belief in the eventual triumph of justice.
This unfortunate turn of events serves as a stark reminder of the complexities and challenges faced by artists in the music industry, highlighting the need for transparency, empathy, and support within the entertainment community.
