In a highly anticipated move, singer Naira Marley has finally addressed the public for the first time since the tragic passing of his former signee, Mohbad. The Marlian Records CEO released a powerful YouTube video titled “My Side of the Story,” where he tackled the intense scrutiny and allegations that have followed him for nearly two years.
In the video, Naira Marley revealed that he was in Amsterdam when the news of Mohbad’s death broke, and he found out about it through social media. This is a crucial point, as it directly addresses a major part of the public narrative surrounding his absence and alleged involvement. The singer did not shy away from the strained relationship the two had before Mohbad’s passing, which included past accusations of physical assault.
The timing of the video is significant. Its release comes on the heels of a court ruling in February 2025 that officially cleared Naira Marley and two other individuals of any involvement in Mohbad’s death. With his name legally cleared, the controversial artist, whose real name is Azeez Fashola, used the opportunity to express his frustration.
He spoke about the “changing narratives” and what he sees as a misrepresentation of the events. Naira Marley maintained his innocence throughout the video, emphasizing that he had presented his side to the justice system to clear his name. This statement serves as his first and likely most comprehensive public response to the tragic event, a pivotal moment for both him and his fans.
