Singer Mohbad Claims Assault For Demanding New Manager

Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, a Nigerian singer, said on Wednesday that his management team assaulted him after he demanded a different manager.

The native performer is signed to Marlian Records, which is run by Naira Marley, a fellow Nigerian musician.

Mohbad said he was assaulted at the Marlian House by his management team in a video he posted to his Twitter account.

The singer, who was wearing a white singlet, was visible in the seven-second video clip with bruises on his hand, neck, and back.

“Just because I want to change my manager which is their brother, see what they did to me at Marlian House,” he wrote.

Furthermore, he clarified that he was not drunk when the incident happened, adding that his management may use that as an excuse.

“I’m not high oo cos that what Dey always say just to die down everything,” he added.

The singer, however, added, “World pls help me oo I’m dying inside”.

But reacting to the allegation, Naira Marley described the incident as a “family affair”.

The singer, who addressed the issue in an Instagram live video, alleged that Mohbad was probably “high” (drunk) when making the allegation.

He said, “If Mohbad didn’t do a video on that, I wouldn’t even bother explaining because it is not something big, it’s a family issue.

“Obviously, he (Mohbad) is not in his right sense. It is obvious he is not in the right state of mind. Because why will I touch Mohbad or allow anyone to touch Mohbad?

“I don’t even know how to explain it but obviously, in the group chat, he said he wants to change his manager probably because he (Mohbad) and his manager are having some argument but the manager is not my brother and I don’t know what he (Mohbad) is probably saying. But, obviously, he’s probably high.

“But when he’s back in his right sense, he will explain himself and apologise as usual.”

Also on his Twitter handle, Naira Marley wrote, “Mohbad has a history of getting intoxicated which affects his emotions and actions. #ImNotPerfect. However, all issues would be resolved amicably within the record label.”
