Naira Marley Speaks on His Relationship With Mohbad and What Really Happened
Naira Marley has once again become a hot topic online after he opened up about his late former signee, Mohbad. In a video that surfaced yesterday, the Marlian Music boss spoke at length about his relationship with Mohbad and the personal battles the young artist allegedly faced.
Marley claimed Mohbad got involved with a dangerous substance popularly known as “Ice,” something he said was introduced by the people around him. According to him, he repeatedly warned Mohbad to stay away from it, and at some point, Mohbad admitted it was stress that pushed him into it. Marley said the late singer even apologized for some of his actions, stressing that the struggles weren’t influenced by him or his label.
This has drawn mixed reactions across social media. While some fans believe Marley is finally sharing the truth, others are still not convinced, accusing him of trying to clear his name. One comment that caught attention read, “So what are you giving Zinolesky that made him look like Opkoroko aba?”
The story of Mohbad and Naira Marley goes beyond this new video. Mohbad was signed to Marlian Music in 2019 but later left in 2022 after accusing Marley’s team of assault and withholding royalties. Their fallout was messy and public, and things got even more heated after Mohbad tragically passed away in September 2023. His death started a nationwide protests and the #JusticeForMohbad movement.
The long-awaited trial in the murder case of legendary rapper Tupac Shakur has reached a major development, with Duane “Keffe D” Davis sentenced to 40 years to life in prison on October 13, 2026.
Davis was convicted of first-degree murder in August 2026 for his role in orchestrating the 1996 killing. Tupac was shot in a drive-by attack in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996, and died six days later.
During the sentencing, the judge addressed Davis, rejecting his claims that he had changed his life and moved on from his past. “Mr. Davis, for three years, I’ve heard you say some variation of the same thing to law enforcement, [in interviews], in your book, and it’s something like, ‘Yeah, I was involved in this, but I’m different. I’ve moved on. I got out of Compton. I’m a grandfather now.’ I’m here to tell you that’s not how this works,” the judge said.
She continued “You don’t get to take a man from his family. You don’t get to take his very life, his whole future from him, and just walk away from it. Especially when that man is Tupac Shakur.
“The world never forgot about him and his death, and neither did Las Vegas. It took us 30 years, but at this time, you are going to face justice for what you did on Sept. 7, 1996.”
Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson has reflected on how his perception of YouTube movies has changed over the years. The actor recalled that there was a time when he looked down on movies released on YouTube.
However, he now appreciates the opportunities they have provided for his career and joked that he might have struggled financially if he had continued to dismiss them.
Sharing his thoughts in a post on X, Egbuson wrote “Can’t believe I was looking down on YouTube movies at some point. Hunger go don kpai me by now.”
Nigerian singer Timi Dakolo has advised young people who are still living with their parents not to rush into moving out because of peer pressure.
The singer encouraged young people to focus on their personal circumstances rather than compare their lives with those of others. He noted that there is no need to leave their parents’ homes simply because they want to feel independent.
Sharing his advice, Dakolo said “No hurry, leave your papa house because of peer pressure. Forget all that, ‘I don’t have my freedom here.’”
