Naira Marley Finally Set to Share His Side of the Story on Mohbad’s Death
Popular Nigerian singer Naira Marley has announced that he is finally ready to share his side of the story regarding the tragic death of his former signee, Mohbad, two years after the incident.
Recall that following Mohbad’s passing, fingers were pointed at Naira Marley, Sam Larry, and Marlian Music, with many fans and industry stakeholders blaming them for circumstances surrounding the late singer’s struggles before his death.
Videos had also surfaced online showing Sam Larry, an associate of Naira Marley, confronting and allegedly harassing Mohbad prior to his demise — further fueling suspicion against the Marlian camp.
In a post on his official X (Twitter) page, Naira Marley revealed that he would finally break his silence, stating:
“Meet me on YouTube @8pm. It’s time to tell my side of the story… via Marlian Music Channel.”
The announcement has, however, been met with skepticism from fans online. Some reactions include:
@Alexandaaahh: “There’s nothing you will say that will vindicate you, ode.”
@fits_234: “You wan still monetize your side of the story? Which one be ‘meet you on YouTube’?”
@ThatOjoBoy: “Since you no talk then, na now you wan talk? Omo.”
Opinion
Naira Marley’s timing has raised eyebrows — two years of silence, only to announce his side of the story on YouTube, a monetized platform. To many, this feels less like a pursuit of truth and more like a calculated move to profit off public curiosity.
Yet, one cannot dismiss the fact that he, too, has been under constant scrutiny, accusations, and social backlash without ever fully defending himself. Could this be the moment where hidden truths are finally revealed? Or will it be another episode of half-explanations and blame-shifting?
What’s clear is that Mohbad’s death remains one of the most painful and controversial moments in Nigeria’s music industry. His fans continue to demand justice, not stories. Whether Naira Marley’s revelations will bring clarity or chaos remains to be seen.
Sometimes, silence protects you — but other times, it only deepens suspicion. For Naira Marley, this “side of the story” could either be a turning point or the final nail in his reputation’s coffin.
