Naira Marley denies Mohbad’s assault allegation, claims he was ‘high’ (VIDEO)
Naira Marley, the founder of Marlian Records has reacted to allegations levelled against him and members of his management team by his label signee, Mohbad.
According to Naira Marley, Mohbad is telling lies and was only overreacting because he was “intoxicated” at the time he published the clips on social media.
Earlier, Marlian Records signee, Mohbad whose real name is Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba shared several videos on Twitter to allege that he was physically assaulted by some members of the record label after he demanded to change his manager.
Reacting to the allegation, Naira Marley, who owns Marlian Records, described the incident as a “family affair”.
The singer, who addressed the issue in an Instagram live video, alleged that his artiste was probably “high” (drunk) when making the allegation.
“Obviously, he (Mohbad) is not in his right sense. It is obvious he is not in the right state of mind. Because why will I touch Mohbad or allow anyone to touch Mohbad?,” he said.

This isn’t the first time.
