- Even after the police cut the cord and officially exonerated him from Mohbad’s murder probe, a faction of Nigerians is struggling to swallow the bitter pill of acquittal.
- The Nigerian rapper, fresh off the release from the legal tangle, stirred the pot by paying tribute to Mohbad in the music video for his latest track, “Wahala,” set social media ablaze with fan fury.
Naira Marley, the head honcho of Marlian Records, is catching heat for sparking controversy by paying homage to Late Ex-signee, Mohbad, in the music video for his recently dropped single.
Recall that Mohbad tragically passed away a few months ago, leading to the arrest of the singer and his associates. They eventually secured their freedom after spending some time behind bars.
In the waning days of last December, Naira Marley, just out of the Police hot seat, took to his social media platform to unveil his latest track, “Wahala.”
In a fresh turn of events, the controversial singer dropped the music video titled ‘Wahala’ and made the announcement through his social media handles.
He kicked off the video by paying tribute to the late singer Mohbad, a move that stirred a pot of mixed reactions, leaning heavily towards backlash.
