Nigerian socialite, Sam Larry, has released an official statemment detailing his involvement with late singer, Mohbad.
Recall that Sam Larry was arrested upon entry into the country last night following multiple accusations that he assaulted Mohbad.
According to a statement posted online by Sam Larry, he had paid Mohbad to perform at his mother’s funeral, but Mohbad backed out of the event without issuing a refund.
He alleged that the viral video with Zlatan, in which he threatened Mohbad, was an attempt to secure a refund of his payment and that he had no involvement in Mohbad’s death as he was not in the country.

“PIs, Read this**
‘2 year’s ago, I gave Ileri N2m to perform at my mother’s annual remembrance concert at Ikorodu, he boy never turned up, so I called him to ask why?, He then said he was not feeling well and when I asked for a refund, he said he lost his phone and money recently when the NDLEA raided his place in the process and since he was leaving Marlian Records, he is now broke, with no commitment to repay.
then left, all for me to later hear that this same boy was having a musical video shoot the next door, practically next street to my house, so I went there o ask for my money again, we had an argument that asted 5mins, even one of his friends insisted he was going pay the money, up till today one kobo they have not paid me, this was early last year. I have since then moved on,
I traveled to Kenya to find new African act that can perform at my mother’s concert this year. I have been away since August 20!, till now I don’t know anything other than what was written in the blogs and press. I don’t even know where he lives, I only know his former label boss and their house. I don’t know any nurse or doctor or hospital, I don’t know anything about his movement, I don’t have that time, I have lost a lot more money than that before, you win some you loose some.
That is my story case close. I came here willingly and happily. I know nothing about how the musician died ”’ -Sam Larry”
