Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has spoken out about the backlash she faced for her role in seeking justice for the late Nigerian singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad.

The actress revealed that her activism attracted harsh criticisms and serious allegations, including claims that she was involved in Mohbad’s death.

During an interview on “Glass House” with comedian AY, Iyabo addressed these accusations, calling them baseless and hurtful.

She shared that some individuals had gone as far as accusing her of using Mohbad’s death to gain popularity and pursue personal interests, including claims of seeking a political appointment.

She dismissed these narratives, asserting that her intentions were purely driven by a desire to uncover the truth and ensure justice for the young artist.

Iyabo clarified her connection with Mohbad, stating that they only met briefly during the One Africa Music Fest.

“I didn’t know him that well. He was a quiet young man, focused on his music and dealing with his struggles.

I wasn’t around when he passed away, so how could I have been involved?” she asked.

She pointed out the contradiction in the allegations, questioning why she would advocate for an autopsy and thorough investigation if she had something to hide.

The actress also addressed claims that she was financially motivated in her advocacy.

“There was a time they said I was paid to do this, or that I wanted to use it for clout. People even speculated I was chasing a political position. It’s all ridiculous.

I wasn’t seeking anything for myself; I only wanted justice for a young man who deserved better,” she said.

Mohbad, a fast-rising singer formerly signed to Naira Marley’s Marlian Records, tragically passed away at just 27.

“I am not doing this for praise or attention. Mohbad deserves justice, and I will continue to speak out until the truth is revealed,” she affirmed.

American actress Gabrielle Union has revealed her decision to leave the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.

In a message posted on her X account on Friday, the actress explained her reasons for stepping away, citing significant changes that have altered the platform’s original purpose.

Union expressed concern about the shift in the platform’s ethos, particularly highlighting the return of controversial figures and upcoming adjustments to its terms of service.

She described how these changes have made the environment uncomfortable for her.

She stated that platforms like X were initially built on the principles of fostering genuine connections, promoting creativity, and maintaining respect for user privacy and trust.

However, she believes that these ideals are no longer upheld on X, making it hard for her to continue supporting the space.

Union voiced her commitment to engaging in online spaces that prioritize inclusivity, respect, and integrity.

She acknowledged that sometimes difficult decisions are necessary when certain boundaries are crossed, adding that the recent developments on X were her breaking point.

While her departure from X marks the end of an era for her presence on the platform, Union assured her fans that they could still connect with her on other platforms.

She remains active on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, Bluesky, Spill, and TikTok, where she plans to continue sharing updates and engaging with her audience.
