Although the duo had a fall-out last year, which led to Mohbad leaving the label, the Marlian Music boss noted that he never wished any harm on Mohbad.

Mohbad was said to have reportedly died from an ear infection. It was noted that he visited the hospital for treatment, after which he was injected.
According to the unverified report making rounds on social media, Mohbad passed out shortly after the injection and did not wake up.
However, discoveries by colleagues, fans, and friends emerge daily, allegedly suggesting that the late singer was allegedly harassed and bullied to death.
In all the emerging evidence, Naira Marley and his friend Sam Larry are allegedly at the forefront of perpetrating the act.
