An old interview video of late Nigerian singer, Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, where he narrated how show promoters refused to pick him for shows due to statements made by his former record label, Marlian Music, has surfaced.
It will be recalled that the ‘Feel Good’ crooner officially terminated his contract with his former record label, headed by singer Naira Marley, in 2022. The label announced his exit on Tuesday , October 25, 2022.
Subsequently, Mohbad’s legal team issued an official statement clarifying that he left the label due to the constant attacks he received from his label boss and unpaid royalties dating back to 2019.
Following his sad demise on Tuesday, September 12, netizens dug up an old interview video of the singer disclosing that he was not invited to shows because of the remarks his former record label were peddling about him.
According to him, his former label told show promoters that he wasn’t mentally stable enough to perform at shows, so they didn’t call him.
He said he found out about this when the organizers of a show, One Africa Fest, reached out to him personally to confirm the state of his mental health after Marlian Music told them he wasn’t okay.
