Still In Shock As A Lot Of People Want To Know Where Did Mohbad Died, Full Information And What You Need To Know About How Mohbad Died
Nigeria’s LAGOS Numerous Nigerian cities have witnessed protests and candlelight vigils in recent days in honour of Mohbad, a renowned 27-year-old Nigerian music icon who passed away on September 12.
His abrupt death in a Lagos hospital has no known cause, but reports that he was subjected to harassment by people with political clout while working for his old record company have caused indignation and a flood of heartfelt tributes. Since his passing, the hashtag #justiceformohbad has become popular on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Along with the intimate ties between individuals in the music industry and the government, his death has also shown how powerful Nigerian labels treat performers.
Mohbad left Marley’s label, Marlian Records, last year, and in the aftermath, spoke of alleged harassment he suffered from Marley and his associates.
Last October, he posted a video on Twitter, now X, of blood oozing from a wound on his shoulder.
“Just because I want to change my manager … see what they did to me at Marlian House,” he posted, along with another video appearing to show several men attacking him in a street at night, who he claimed in a later post were Marley and his associates.
Marley has strongly denied the allegations.
In several subsequent posts, songs and interviews, Mohbad — whose nickname was “Imole,” meaning “light” in Yoruba — spoke about trying to find peace in his life. He said he experienced a campaign of abuse after he left Marley’s label.
In an interview last month, he said his former label had put pressure on promoters to cancel shows for which he was booked.
Marley has strongly denied harassing the late star. On Instagram this week, he said that he was “shattered” by the news of Mohbad’s death and called for fans to help find information on his death.
In recent days, some radio stations in the country have stopped playing Marley’s songs. More protests and vigils are planned across the country.
