Mohbad opens up on what led to his physical assault at Naira Marley’s house

Mohbad recounts what incited the altercation at Naira Marley’s home.
Embattled singer, Mohbad has opened up on the events that led to the altercation between him and Naira Marley’s crew.
Recall that yesterday, Mohbad took to Twitter to post a now-viral video of him clearly bruised and wearing a white singlet.
He alleged that he was beaten because he requested a change of manager.
However, Naira Marley who owns the record label: Marlian Records, shared his side of the story and said the incident is a “family affair” and will be resolved amicably within the label.
He refuted the allegations levelled against him by Mohbad, alleging that the singer might have been drunk when making the video.
Mohbad has now taken to Twitter to share what went down and how the assault happened. In a series of tweets, he wrote;
“The events of the last two days have left indelible scars in my heart.
I have always just wanted to create good music and to provide for my family and myself through my music. As an Artiste from the street, I thought the Marlian Family would be a good place for me.
However, recent events and certain truths have come to light which threaten my peace, health and career.
Because of these issues, I informed Naira Marley on the Marlian WhatsApp group chat of my intention to change my manager.
This didn’t go down well with my current Manager Tunde (His Brother)
There were instant angry outbursts and protests from him in the chat.
I went to Naira Marley’s house with my Producer and my friend on the 4th of October, 2022, to have this conversation and reach a peaceful resolution.

We were in the studio, and Some of the guys who work with Naira- Sid, Shuddy, Seyi and others- were present, as well as Naira and Tunde. I noticed Tunde was quite agitated as we started the discussion. In the middle of the conversation, Tunde became violent and attacked me.
The guys I was with were also attacked, humiliated and stripped naked by Sid, Shuddy and Seyi and some of the other boys. We were barely able to escape. 3 of us had to be checked into the hospital to get medical care for the injuries sustained during the assault.
Naira Marley was fully present throughout this event, and in fact, coordinated some of the attack as he instructed the boys to beat us up. Some of this was captured on video. It is therefore disrespectful for Naira Marley to insinuate that I started the attack because I was intoxicated as he is fully aware of the facts and circumstances surrounding this violent attack.
It is not the first time Naira has lied to push his own narrative, but it will hopefully be the last.
I trust that soon, justice will be served.
Thank you all for your support.”
