Mohbad: Five things Naira Marley shared with Reno Omokri

Published

on

In an interview with Reno Omokri, a Nigerian political commentator and social activist Wednesday, Nigerian musician Naira Marley addressed allegations surrounding the untimely demise of his former signee, Mohbad.

Mohbad who died on September 12, 2023 was formerly signed to Naira Marley’s Marlian Music where he is best known for his hit singles like Feel Good, and KPK (Ko Por Ke) with Rexxie.

As investigation is still taking place by the Nigerian Police, many would remember the artist towards his final years and the controversy that surrounded him when he split from Naira Marley’s Marlian Record in 2022.

Naira Marley and Mohbad had a complex relationship during his time at Marlian Records. However, their relationship took a sour turn for the worse in 2022, leading to Mohbad’s departure from the label.

Here are key takeaways from the online interview Naira Marley had with Reno Omokri.

Naira Marley stated that he had spoken to Mohbad, who had previously accused him and the Marlian Music group of responsibility for his troubles. According to Naira Marley, Mohbad had apologised to him after their conversation. He also revealed that he had reached out to Mohbad during a troubling period, offering support and advice regarding mental health concerns.

The artist vehemently denied engaging in fisticuffs with Mohbad or sending anyone to attack him. This comes in the wake of videos depicting Mohbad with body scars allegedly resulting from altercations with members of the Marlian Music group. He said that he was already out of the country during the time of Mohbad’s death and would not have had anything to do with it given the distance.

The strained relationship between Mohbad and Naira Marley had been ongoing since Mohbad left the Marlian Music label in 2022. Naira Marley clarified that he had not received any share of Mohbad’s music royalties since his departure.

Regarding DJ Splash’s accusations of causing his illness, Naira Marley clarified that he hadn’t officially sign DJ Splash and that any affiliation was limited to taking pictures together. He asserted that DJ Splash’s illness did not originate during his time in Naira Marley’s home.

Lizzy Anjorin Questions Court Order Over Priscilla Ojo’s Son

Published

on

Nollywood actress Lizzy Anjorin has questioned the authenticity of an interim order issued by the Lagos State High Court on 2 September 2026, restraining her from publishing photographs of Priscilla Ojo’s one-year-old son, Rakeem Mkambala, and from posting editorials concerning the family on specified social media platforms.

Anjorin raised the issue during an Instagram Live session on Friday, 4 September, after Priscilla shared a copy of the court order online.

The actress argued that publicising court documents before formally serving the respondent undermines the case.

“Your case na dead on arrival. If you post court letter on any platform before serving person wey you wan go serve, that court case na fake court case,” Anjorin said during the live session.

Her comments came shortly after the High Court of Lagos State granted an ex parte application brought by Priscilla, her husband, Tanzanian singer Juma Mussa Mkambala, and their son, Rakeem.

Justice Yetunde Adesanya issued the interim order in Suit No. LD/ADR/6646/2026.

The order restrains Anjorin, as well as people acting under her authority, from publishing, posting, circulating, uploading or broadcasting photographs of Rakeem on specified social media platforms, including Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp and TikTok.

The court also directed Anjorin to cease publishing or broadcasting editorials concerning the applicants on the platforms covered by the order.

An ex parte order is made at an interim stage without the respondent being heard. The order is therefore not a final determination of the dispute and remains subject to further proceedings.

Priscilla shared the certified copy of the order on her Instagram Story on Friday, bringing the legal development into public view.

Anjorin’s reaction centres on the timing and manner in which the court documents were publicised. Her assertion that such publication makes a case “fake” is her own claim and is not a finding contained in the court order.

The development marks another chapter in the prolonged public dispute between Anjorin and Priscilla’s family, particularly Priscilla’s mother, actress Iyabo Ojo.

The disagreement has played out largely on social media and has previously resulted in legal action, including a ₦1 billion defamation suit filed by Iyabo Ojo against Anjorin.

In recent weeks, the dispute has also drawn Priscilla and her young son into the controversy, following public comments by Anjorin concerning the family.
