A recent Instagram post by Law Lee, an associate of embattled singer Naira Marley, has ignited controversy surrounding the late singer Mohbad, born Ilerioluwa Aloba, who passed away at the age of 27 on September 12, 2023.
In the post, Law Lee expressed a level of animosity towards Mohbad, indicating that his disdain for the deceased has only intensified since his passing. The statement was made in the wake of a public confrontation involving Portable, another artist, who criticized Zinoleesky for acquiring a Ferrari without achieving notable success in the music industry.
Law Lee attributed his heightened aversion towards Mohbad to alleged disparaging remarks the late singer made about fellow artist Zinoleesky, which reportedly led to the public confrontation initiated by Portable on social media. He suggested that if Mohbad had refrained from making negative comments about Zinoleesky, Portable would not have taken such action against him.
The contentious remarks made by Law Lee have reignited discussions surrounding Mohbad’s legacy and the circumstances of his death, which have been shrouded in controversy since September 2023. Mohbad’s departure from Marlian Music, owned by Naira Marley, in February 2022, further complicates the narrative surrounding his relationship with the music industry.
The Lagos State Police Command’s initiation of a special investigation team to probe Mohbad’s death, coupled with the subsequent arrest of Naira Marley and controversial Lagos socialite Balogun Eletu, known as Sam Larry, underscores the gravity of the situation. Allegations of mistreatment towards Mohbad prior to his passing have added fuel to the ongoing scrutiny surrounding his untimely demise.
