Popular Nigerian musician, Afeez Fashola, aka Naira Marley, the Marlian boss, has reacted to many of claims pointing to him in the death of late singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, aka MohBad, saying that him and the late MohBad were resolving their issues before the untimely passing of the ‘Peace’ crooner.
MohBad died on Tuesday, September 12, at the age of 27.
The deceased, whom was a former member of the Marlian Music record label, had, in multiple clips, alleged to have been assaulted by gangs sent by his former boss, Naira Marley, and his associate Samson Eletu, popularly known as Sam Larry.
On Tuesday, Naira Marley, in a statement released on his Instagram page, said that although there were issues between him and late MohBad, it never degenerated to the point many allege.
“Permit me to categorically state that I have no hand in the death of Ilerioluwa either directly or indirectly. It is not unusual in the industry, like in several industries, to have family friction, even amongst blood relatives.
“Truly, we had our share of misunderstandings whilst working together, but the disagreement between us was never to the extent being painted by some hirelings.
“It never degenerated to the extent of wishing each other death. Even at that, we were resolving our business dispute legally before he had passed,” the statement read in part.
