Nigerian music producer and artist, Samklef, has released a statement addressing the controversy surrounding the tragic death of the rising star, Mohbad. In his statement, Samklef absolved Naira Marley of any involvement in the young musician’s passing and called for a rational and evidence-based approach to the situation.
In his statement, Samklef emphasized the complexity of the circumstances surrounding Mohbad’s death and urged people not to jump to conclusions based on emotions. He stated:
The full truth about his death will emerge soon, and it’s more complex than it appears. Naira Marley was not implicated, drugs were not a factor, and it wasn’t a suicide. I’m committed to uncovering the truth. There’s a valuable lesson here: If you’re a public figure and have a falling out with someone, ensure you publicly reconcile to avoid unwarranted judgements.”
Samklef also cautioned against resorting to vigilantism or making unfounded allegations based solely on the reported falling out between Naira Marley and Mohbad. He expressed his belief that the details surrounding Mohbad’s death would be disclosed in due time and reiterated his commitment to promoting the truth.
The controversy surrounding Mohbad’s passing escalated with the emergence of a video showing the late singer being harassed by Sam Larry, an aide to Naira Marley. This video sparked outrage and raised questions about the dynamics within the entertainment industry.
As new facts continue to emerge regarding the video of Mohbad’s harassment, the Nigerian music industry, fans, and the wider online community eagerly await further developments in the hope of finding answers that will bring closure and justice to the late singer’s family and fans.
