Mohbad may have surrounded himself with cultists, I am anti-cultist – Naira Marley says

Rapper Azeez Adeshina Fashola, known as Naira Marley, expressed his belief that his former protege Ilerioluwa Olademeji Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, might have associated himself with “many cultists,” given the abrupt circumstances of his passing.

He maintained that he thought Mohbad had been subjected to bullying, but emphasized that neither he nor his record label, Marlian Music, sponsored the individuals responsible for the harassment.

During an interview with Reno Omokri, Naira Marley stated that he is not affiliated with any cult, underscoring that he has been contending with issues related to cultists since he relocated to Nigeria from England in 2019.

While suggesting that those accusing him of involvement in Mohbad’s demise might be attempting to divert attention from the actual cause of death. He expressed that hopefully, the police will undergo a thorough investigation to uncover the truth.

“I believe he was actually stressed as much as he needed help. I believe he has been bullied. I believe there were people on his neck, people all over him that he was in danger. But it wasn’t from us. If he was in danger from me, if anybody is scared of me, nobody is gonna come out doing all of these. I don’t believe in any cult whatsoever. I came to Nigeria in 2019 from England. I don’t know what a cult is. I’ve been running away from the cultists in Nigeria. I’m actually an anti-cultist. I’m against it. So many times they tried to force me into it but thank God they never succeeded in doing it.

“I do understand that maybe he [Mohbad] had surrounded himself with a lot of bad people like a lot of cultists. And I can see from the way people are trying to cover up, with the way they sending in money [to Mohbad’s family] and with the experience of what has happened around them, I just hope the police will find out a lot of things, man, he said
