Naira Marley disclosed he never had any fight or argument with Mohbad. According to Naira Marley, the only issue Mohbad had was with Tunde, his manager.

“Their fight started from a group chat which I still have the evidence with me. I tried to settle their differences but it got out of hand to the extent that they got physical. I even gave Mohbad the option of changing his manager if that would make him happy. When they got physical I didn’t report to the police because it was Mohbad that employed Tunde,” he said.

Naira Marley disclosed that he never threatened or bullied Mohbad.

“Sam Larry is a friend to both me and Mohbad. I never instructed him to be beating Mohbad. I never cheated him neither did I exploit him,” he said.

The singer, who revealed he requested for a virtual hearing because of his safety said he received threats to his life.

Naira Marley speaks about Mohbad’s widow Wunmi

The Soapy crooner said he knew Wunmi to be Mohbad’s girlfriend as she was living with him at the Marlian house.

“It was a separate building from my own building. All the things Wunmi was saying at the interview that I threatened Mohbad were not true. She even said there was a time they were going to their house and they were waylaid by my boys, that was a blatant lie. I have never done that to Mohbad. Why is Wunmi lying by mentioning my name?” he said.

“When Mohbad was alive, I never heard that Sam Larry bullied him. It was after his demise that I saw the viral video of him and Sam Larry,” he added.

“Concerning his royalties, Ever since Mohbad d!ed, I have never spent one pin from his money. His money is still with me. I am waiting for the right person to come from his family so that I can give the money to the person.

“I will advise the court to arrest all the people that were with him 24 hours before he d!ed, the people that invited him to the show and the people that were in the car with him,” he said.
