Popular Nigerian singer and Marlian Music boss, Naira Marley, has finally spoken out after being officially cleared of any involvement in the unfortunate passing of his former signee, Mohbad. In an emotional note shared on social media, he reflected on the pain, betrayal, and false accusations he has faced since the tragic incident.
It would be recalled that following Mohbad’s untimely demise, numerous accusations were directed at Naira Marley due to his past disagreements with the late singer. Many fans, critics, and even fellow celebrities speculated that their fallout might have played a role in Mohbad’s death, leading to widespread public outrage against the Marlian Music boss. The intense backlash even resulted in his arrest and detention for several weeks as investigations unfolded.
However, in a recent update, the police officially announced that Naira Marley, Sam Larry, and Prime Boy have been cleared of any involvement in Mohbad’s death. The authorities confirmed that there was no direct evidence linking them to the singer’s passing, effectively putting an end to months of speculation and allegations against them.
Following the announcement, Naira Marley broke his silence with a deeply emotional post, where he expressed his anguish over the ordeal. He recounted how he had once treated Mohbad like a brother, only to be accused and abandoned in the wake of his death. The singer lamented how his name was dragged through the mud, despite having made peace with Mohbad before his passing.
According to Naira Marley, he endured immense suffering due to the accusations, spending time in jail and being branded a murderer by people who once called him a friend. He expressed disappointment in those who knew the truth but chose to remain silent, allowing him to be vilified in the public eye. Despite the hardship, he affirmed that he remains strong and believes that time will eventually reveal the whole truth.
His words read:
“I never thought silence could be so loud. I never thought someone I called my brother, someone I protected, would leave this world with my name in his shadow. I have carried this weight, this pain, this shame that was never mine to bear. We, as Marlians, were not perfect. We had to grow, we had to adapt. Mistakes were made, but they were business—never war.
I made peace with Mohbad. We understood each other beyond the noise, beyond the misunderstandings. And you know this. Yet when he took his last breath in you all’s arms, you looked at the world and pointed at me. You let them tear me apart. You let them call me a killer while you sat there, knowing the truth. Now you tell the story?
I welcomed you all into my home. I gave you my trust. And yet, my brother is gone, still not buried, and that is your fault. Telling the truth from the beginning would have given him the rest he deserves. Regardless, I will always be there for him.
You never thought I would survive. You never thought I would walk through the fire and face my people, maybe you hoped I would stay a fugitive. You thought I would run. Instead, I stood before the justice system, spent time in jail, and faced everything head-on while you changed the story, again and again. But God sees all. The truth does not shake. The lies will fade, and time will reveal everything.
I have been broken, but I am not destroyed. And when the truth finally speaks, I pray your heart is strong enough to bear it.” – Naira Marley
His post has since sparked mixed reactions, with some fans expressing sympathy and support for the singer, while others remain skeptical about his claims. Many social media users have also called for Mohbad’s family to finally lay him to rest, emphasizing that his soul deserves peace.
