In a shocking twist of events, the renowned Nigerian music sensation Naira Marley and his aide, Sam Larry, have reportedly been taken into custody. This development stems from the widely publicized incident involving the assault on fellow artist Mohbad, which has sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry and ignited a passionate outcry for justice.
The controversy unfolded when a video capturing the late Mohbad being subjected to harassment by Naira Marley’s aide, Sam Larry, surfaced online. The video swiftly went viral, capturing the attention of fans and the general public. In the distressing footage, Mohbad, who was on the set of a music video shoot, found himself in a wheelchair, pushed by an elderly woman, with fellow artist Zlatan by his side. The clip revealed Sam Larry striking Mohbad from behind, leading to swift intervention by Zlatan.
The incident triggered an immediate outpouring of outrage from fans and supporters of the late singer, who demanded both accountability and justice. Many expressed deep disappointment in the actions of Naira Marley’s camp, urging a thorough investigation into the assault and its circumstances. Calls to boycott Naira Marley’s songs gained momentum as fans sought to take a stand against such behavior within the industry.
Initially, Sam Larry attempted to limit comments on his Instagram page, likely in response to mounting criticism. However, this did not deter netizens from voicing their condemnation of his actions. Ultimately, Sam Larry deactivated his social media accounts, further intensifying public scrutiny.
Meanwhile, Naira Marley’s response to the controversy has raised eyebrows, as he continued to post on his Snapchat with netizens expressing shock at his apparent nonchalance in the face of such a grave situation. It’s worth recalling that Naira Marley had posted a heartbreak emoji when news of Mohbad’s passing initially surfaced, offering no further reaction to the tragic event.
It’s important to note that the reported arrest of Naira Marley and Sam Larry is centered around the physical assault inflicted on Mohbad during his lifetime and is not directly related to his passing. Netizens are relieved that steps are being taken towards accountability in this troubling incident, as the wheels of justice slowly begin to turn.
