The last may not have been heard about the death of talented and fast rising music act, Mohbad. Well, the latest is coming from a certain Dubai based Nigerian content creator and Vlogger, Angela Mbonu, has made yet another startling revelations concerning the death of Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, known on stage as Mohbad.
According to her, the boss of his former Record Label (Marlian Music), Naira Marley, never signed Mohbad as his artiste but just to keep him in check because he was scared of the level of talent he (Naira Marley) saw in Mohbad.
In other words, Naira Marley was threatened by the raw talent possessed by Mohbad, so he signed the deceased to his Record Label just to ensure he dictates the direction and growth of his music career/talent, and not necessarily to help his talent.
“Naira Marley never signed this guy as an artiste but to keep his competitor close. He saw the light and raw talent,” she wrote, then added, “Mohbad was his big competitor, so he kept him close to monitor him not to help his talent.”
Since the death of this young music talent, a lot of scary things have been revealed about the Nigerian music industry, including bullying, maltreatment, use and dump. For instance, Harrysong came out yesterday to reveal his bitter ordeals in the hands of his former Record Label, Five Star Music, owned by popular Nigerian Billionaire business man, Emeka Okonkwo, popularly known as Emoney.
