Naira Marley alleges that Mohbad may have surrounded himself with “a lot of cultists”

Controversial musician, Azeez Fashola aka Naira Marley, has asserted that his late signee, Ilerioluwa Olademeji Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, may have surrounded himself with “a lot of cultists” which could be linked to his sudden demise.

The Marlian Music boss had been named as one of those allegedly responsible for Mohbad’s death, but he distanced himself from the allegations, saying he believed that the rapper had been bullied but his bullies weren’t sponsored by him.

Marley stated these in an interview with former presidential spokesman, Reno Omokri, where he denied being a cultist. The ‘Koleyewon’ crooner also said he has been battling with cultists since relocating to Nigeria from England in 2019.

He went on to say that those accusing him of having a hand in Mohbad’s death may be trying to cover up the true cause of his death. The singer expressed hoped that police will conduct a thorough investigation to uncover the truth.

Naira Marley said; “I believe he was actually stressed as much as he needed help. I believe he has been bullied. I believe there were people on his neck, people all over him that he was in danger. But it wasn’t from us. If he was in danger from me, if anybody is scared of me, nobody is gonna come out doing all of these. I don’t believe in any cult whatsoever.

“I came to Nigeria in 2019 from England. I don’t know what a cult is. I’ve been running away from the cultists in Nigeria. I’m actually an anti-cultist. I’m against it. So many times they tried to force me into it but thank God they never succeeded in doing it.

“I do understand that maybe he [Mohbad] had surrounded himself with a lot of bad people like a lot of cultists. And I can see from the way people are trying to cover up, with the way they sending in money [to Mohbad’s family] and with the experience of what has happened around them, I just hope the police will find out a lot of things, man.”
