Mohbad passed away on Tuesday, September 12, 2023, under controversial circumstances. After his death, some netizens accused his former label boss, Naira Marley, and his associate, Sam Larry, of causing his demise.
Videos showing Sam Larry bullying the singer circulated online, sparking public outrage and resulting in the arrest of Naira Marley and Sam Larry, who are currently in police custody.
In a recent video addressing the controversy, Portable alleged that Mohbad’s betrayal led to his death. He also claimed that Naira Marley was not involved in Mohbad’s demise. Instead, he suggested that it was Mohbad’s associates after leaving Marlian Music who were responsible for his death.
Portable emphasized that Naira Marley, who played a significant role in Mohbad’s career, could not have been involved in his death. He went on to pray that God vindicates Naira Marley because he is a helper.
His words loosely translated in English,
“It was Naira Marley’s opponents that killed Mohbad because he was a traitor. He was chilling with Naira Marley’s opponents, that’s why they killed him. Don’t be so bad in case you want to see it tomorrow. Naira Marley is innocent; he was implicated. But God will save him because he is a helper.
The death that killed Mohbad is the death of a traitor. The music industry is casted. What I don’t want to say, I will say it now. They roped in Naira Marley and Marlian music.
When Mohbad had a problem with Marlians, he said they did not like him. Who doesn’t like him? Who doesn’t love you? Someone that built you later doesn’t love you? He left and ran to Marlians haters and enemies and started rolling with them. You should know the people I’m talking about.”
