The music promoter, an ally of Azeez Fashola, a Nigerian singer also known as Naira Marley, has been trending since the breaking of Mohbad’s death.
Naira Marley and Sam Larry have said they know nothing about Mohbad’s death, but there have been calls for their arrest by some Nigerians over their multiple face-off with the late singer, who left the Marlian Records on a controversial note in 2022.
