Abosede, the late singer’s mother, has claimed that Samson Balogun, nicknamed Sam Larry, and Azeez Fashola, aka Naira Marley, frustrated her son to death.
Abosede revealed this in an interview with Saturday PUNCH headlined “Uncensored: Mohbad’s mother opens up about her late son, ex-husband, Naira Marley.”
According to her, the late musician never had serenity in his life because Naira Marley and Sam Larry were always getting him into trouble.
“Mohbad did not know peace throughout his lifetime. He was always going from one problem to another in the hands of Naira Marley and Sam Larry. His manager was Naira Marley’s brother, and I did not like him.
“Every time I went there, I always told Mohbad to stay away from him, yet he was always sleeping on Mohbad’s bed. I told Mohbad to keep away from everyone associated with Naira Marley and should not work with them anymore. I had always been involved in my son’s life. Every curse that Naira Marley rains on me will return to him,” she said.
Speaking further, she detailed how Mohbad suggested to her about a chat with Naira Marley in the middle of the night because he wanted to replace his management and how his ex-signee boss brought out something he wanted him to take, adding,
“At that moment, Mohbad was scared, and he ran to the bathroom, from where he called me. I then called my pastor, who asked us to pray.
“Sam Larry beat Mohbad, complaining that he owed him money, but that is not true. My son confided in me.
“Naira Marley beat him up one time, and he ended up in the hospital. We had to use hot water to massage his body, and he could not talk for two days because he was seriously beaten. He even developed hypertension.
“When Mohbad recovered from the sickness, Naira did not want him back in Marlian Music. He said he was spoiling their name; and Mohbad also did not want to go back. I went with the father to plead with Naira. That was the first time I went to the house. It was Joseph that was always going there. I want justice for my son.”
