Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, has disclosed that he was jailed in Cyprus after the promoter for the concert where he was supposed to perform messed up his plans.
Mohbad shared this update on Instagram, explaining that he was imprisoned at the airport prison in Cyprus. On Saturday, November 6th, 2021, he posted this on his Instagram stories.
Mohbad, who is signed to Naira Marley’s Marlian Records, recently performed in London alongside Zinoleesky, another label artist.
The gig drew a sizable crowd, so the rapper flew to Cyprus for his next performance.
It was in Cyprus that Mohbad was arrested and held by prison authorities at the airport.
“I’ve been stuck at the Cyprus airport prison. The show promoter got me fucked up,” he wrote.
Mohbad has had a successful year following the release of his latest track, Feel Good, which landed him a performance in Cyprus, where he was detained.
