Before his death, Mohbad’s colleague, Bella Shmurda, had recounted how Mohbad had almost committed suicide.
Bella spoke at length about Mohbad’s issues with his record label, Marlians, which is owned by Naira Marley, and how his girlfriend saved him from suicide.
Bella further slammed Naira Marley and his label for pretending that all was well between Mohbad and the management.
Mohbad was signed to Naira Marley’s “Marlian Records” and left the label in 2022.
Recall that in an Instagram live session after his release from NDLEA’s camp, Mohbad alleged that Naira Marley and other members of the group were after his life.
He expressed his belief that Naira Marley and Marlian music would play a role in his demise, as he told his fans to hold the label boss accountable for his death.
The singer and rapper had also posted clips of an alleged assault he suffered at the hands of Naira Marley’s crew after he requested to change his manager.
However, Naira Marley responded to his accusation by saying that he was lying because he spilled tea on him.
Countering him, Mohbad expressed hope that justice will be served someday.
