Mohbad: I don’t care about losing followers- Naira Marley (Video)
“I’m ready to return if my safety is guaranteed” – Naira Marley
Embattled musician, Naira Marley has said that he does not care about losing followers on social media following the controversies surrounding the death of his former signee, Ilerioluwa Aloba, better known as Mohbad.
Naira Marley made this known during an interview with the social commentator, Reno Omokri on Wednesday.
According to the musician, losing followers is nothing compared to a life that has been lost.
He said he would gladly give up all the followers he has if he could have Mohbad back on earth.
Naira Marley also said he was ready to return to Nigeria to clear his name of all claims of being involved in Mohbad’s death.
The controversial singer’s name has been on the lips of many Nigerians since the demise of Mohbad as many alleged that he victimized the late singer till he died.
Videos of the late singer being harassed and beaten by people loyal to Naira Marley flooded the internet.
In his interview with Omokri, the first he has granted since the controversy started, Naira Marley said there was already a mob after him because their minds had been poisoned by the the media.
He said he would only return to Nigeria if his safety could be guaranteed.
Naira Marley said:
“There was another time when I was in America and his girl called me to say he locked himself in the toilet and he wanted to kil.l himself or something like that. So, I called him from there and recorded the conversation, asking him: “Why did you want to kil.l yourself? You are a king, if your family is stressing you out (because this time, he was with his family and all his family was around him) just tell them to chill, you can do what you want to do, do not stress yourself, if you kil.l yourself now, what do you want people to say.
I was so concerned so I called him to try to give him rest of mind, if your family is stressing you out, leave.”
“He wanted to commit su.ic_ide, in the video, I was just trying to find out what was wrong with him.”
