Mohbad, who was once affiliated with Naira Marley’s Marlian Records label, parted ways with the record label in 2022, and their public disputes have been escalating ever since.
One particularly memorable incident occurred in October 2022 when Mohbad went live on video, showing a distressing scene where he was seen crying and hastily leaving a building in Chevron, Lekki. With Mohbad’s passing, attention has naturally shifted towards Naira Marley.
