Resurfaced tweets from the deceased Mohbad cast doubt on Naira Marley's most recent denials that he was involved in the attack that killed Mohbad. Read Full Article...
In contrast to these tweets, Naira Marley later issued a statement in which he denied ever attacking the late Mohbad.
More than a year before his untimely death, Mohbad expressed his displeasure on Twitter, complaining that the Marlian Records staff had physically assaulted him and that Naira Marley had orchestrated the incident.
Mohbad tweeted that he was looking for a new manager and that he wanted to leave the record label.
However, his attempt to reason with the Marlian Records personnel went violent when he claimed that they had physically assaulted him.
Surprisingly, he said that Naira Marley had not only been present when the crime occurred but actively encouraged some people to take part in the assault.
These facts completely disprove Naira Marley's recent assertions that he never assaulted Mohbad and was not involved in the sad incidents that resulted in Mohbad's death.

The events of the last two days have left indelible scars in my heart.
I have always just wanted to create good music and to provide for my family and myself through my music. As an Artiste from the street, I thought the Marlian Family would be a good place for me.
However, recent events and certain truths have come to light which thi i ten my peace, health and career
Because of these issues, I informed Naira Marley on the Marlin WhatsApp group chat of my intention to change my manager.
This didn’t go down well with my current Manager Tunde (His Brother)
There were instant angry outbursts and protests from him in the chat.
I went to Naira Marley’s house with my Producer and my friend on the 4th of October, 2022, to have this conversation and reach a peaceful-resolution. We were in the studio, and Some of the guys who work with Naira- Sid, Shuddy, Seyi and others- were present, as well as Naira and Tunde. I noticed Tunde was quite agitated as we started the discussion. In the middle of the conversation, Tunde became violent and attacked me. The guys I was with were also att ked, humiliated and str sped naked by Sid, Shuddy and Seyi and some of the other boys. We were barely able to escape. 3 of us had to be checked into the hospital to get medical care for the injuries sustained during the assault.
Naira Marley was fully present throughout this event, and in fact, coordinated some of the attack as he instructed the boys to beat us up. Some of this was captured on video. It is therefore disrespectful for Naira Marley to insinuate that I started the attack because I was…
I have decided to speak no further on this, however, and will let this matter be handled going forward by my representatives. I will focus on getting back my full strength and sound health so that I can continue to tell my story through my music.”
