Mr. Joseph Aloba, father of the late singer Mohbad, has sparked controversy after releasing a new music track in which he references his son.
Mohbad, the talented Afrobeats artist, passed away in September 2023 under unclear circumstances. His father, who is also a singer, has now resumed making music.
A circulating video shows Aloba in a recording studio, where he introduces himself in the song by saying, “This is Mohbad’s dad.”
The move has triggered mixed reactions online.
Some social media users criticized him for attempting to capitalize on his son’s name, while others expressed disbelief at his musical pursuit.
Some others saw nothing wrong with it and called on people to support him to keep th memory of his son alive.
@AJwealth7 commented, “Baba, go relax for now, music is not your calling.”
@FLACKO_VVS added, “He wants to continue to use his son’s glory.”
Meanwhile, @mofolajaiye said, “Who dey listen to his music? I wish him the best.”
Others mocked his introduction, with @Lemriss1 writing, “Introduction: ‘This is Mohbad’s dad’—Ahh, why is second-hand embarrassment catching me on behalf of this man?”
