Naira Marley Set to Share His Side of the Story on Mohbad’s Death Controversy

Nigerian singer Naira Marley is set to break his silence, two years after being heavily criticized in connection with the tragic death of his former signee, Mohbad.

Now cleared of the allegations, the Marlian Music boss has announced that he is finally ready to share his side of the story.
Taking to social media, Naira Marley urged fans to tune in as he opens up on the matter.
In his words:
“Meet me on YouTube @8pm.
It’s time to tell my side of the story… via Marlian Music Channel.”
The announcement has stirred fresh conversations online, as many await his long-awaited account of the events surrounding Mohbad’s death.

Recall, in an interview, Larry insisted he never laid a hand on the singer and claimed he had been falsely accused.
Addressing a viral video that resurfaced after Mohbad’s death in September 2023, Larry admitted to confronting the singer but strongly denied any form of physical altercation.
He said the confrontation was strictly over an unpaid debt during a music video shoot and was not an act of violence.
“I did not threaten Mohbad with boys. I only went to the beach to buy something for my child. When I got there, I saw Mohbad and others shooting a video, so I approached them, and some of the beach boys followed me,” Larry explained.
