There have been allegations on social media that Mohbad’s former boss, Naira Marley, had on several occasions instigated Sam Larry and others to intimidate and assault the deceased for exiting Marlians Records.
The controversial socialite, Sam Larry, and controversial singer, Naira Marley, had come under fire on social media after a video where Sam Larry and some others were seen harassing Mohbad surfaced online.
In the video, Mohbad and another singer Omoniyi Temidayo aka Zlatan Ibile, were on set for a music video when Sam Larry stormed the scene with some boys targeting Mohbad who scampered away in fear. Zlatan, however, tried to save the situation as he stood up to Larry and his allies to forestall any attack or bullying on Mohbad.
