Assault allegations

In early 2023, Mohbad accused Naira Marley and his associates of assaulting him. Mohbad posted videos on social media showing himself with injuries, and he claimed that he had been beaten up by Marley's team. Marley denied the allegations, and he said that Mohbad was simply trying to extort money from him.

Mohbad's death

In September 2023, Mohbad was found dead at his home in Lagos, Nigeria. The cause of his death is still under investigation, but it has sparked a lot of speculation and rumors. Some people have alleged that Mohbad was murdered, while others have suggested that he died from a drug overdose.

Naira Marley has denied any involvement in Mohbad's death. However, many people are skeptical of his statement. They believe that he may have had something to do with Mohbad's death, either directly or indirectly.

The Nigerian police are currently investigating Mohbad's death, and they are interviewing people who were close to him. The police may eventually charge someone with murder, but it is also possible that the case will be closed as inconclusive.

Marley and Marlian Music have been involved in some controversies over the years. These controversies have raised questions about the role of music in promoting crime and drug abuse. They have also highlighted the need for greater regulation of the music industry. It is important to note that Marley has not been convicted of any crimes yet.

He is still innocent until proven guilty. However, the allegations against him have damaged his reputation and have raised concerns about his influence on young people.
It remains to be seen how the controversies surrounding him and Marlian Music will play out in the long term. However, these controversies have had a significant impact on the Nigerian music industry.
