As investigations into the death of former Malian signee, Ilerioluwa Aloba aka Mohbad, continue, fingers have been pointed at Sam Larry and Naira Marley, who had reportedly been in a contentious relationship with Mohbad.
Mohbad, who was previously signed to Naira Marley’s label, lost his life under mysterious circumstances and video footages circulating online have fueled suspicions.
The videos show confrontations between Sam Larry and Mohbad at a video shoot, as well as an alleged altercation in a nightclub.
These videos have led some to speculate that Sam Larry may have played a role in the tragic incident.
However, Sam Larry, who has been keeping a low profile since the news broke, has finally spoken out from hiding via a video recording shared on social media.

He said: “I want to categorically state that I had nothing to do with Mohbad’s death. He was my brother and when he was in Marlian records he knew I loved him. Having a fight does not mean that I want him dead.”
Meanwhile, Primeboy, the childhood friend of Mohbad, who was accused by some netizens of having a hand in the singer’s death, denied allegations of an altercation with the deceased.
There were reports on social media claiming Mohbad and Primeboy had a rift before his demise.
Reacting to the rumours via Instagram, Primeboy claimed they were on good terms before he died.
“I keep seeing a lot of rumours out there, that something happened on Sunday, maybe that led to the death of Mohbad. Nothing happened on Sunday. Nothing happened between me and my friend, we were fine from the Island,” he said.
“Whoever says I kill my friend, God will judge you except if I have a hand in it. What really happened that Sunday, me and Mohbad were on stage together and Mohbad was f**king high that day.
“So he sat down in his car after we came down from the stage. His wife was sitting in our middle so I do not know anything that happened, he was just grumpy. He wanted to get out of the car and I was like do not get down, wait, let me go and clear the road.
“Please I know nothing about it I did not even touch Mohbad. He hit me, I did not even do anything. God knows, his wife was there also and the Prado man and security. Please do not say what you do not know- make your investigation. I did not have any issues with Mohbad, he called me all the time I do not stay with them please, and please I know nothing.”
