How Mohbad's wife heard about Naira Marley

Wunmi said she didn't learn about Naira Marley's popularity until Mohbad started talking about him. Things, however, started going in a negative spiral when they didn't allow Mohbad to change his manager, who is Naira Marley's cousin, Tunde.

Because he was doing nothing, Mohbad decided to change his manager. Naira Marley, however, insisted that the group would ultimately decide who would serve as his manager.

"He started receiving different threats from his oppressor, and by 2022, when he left the label, he wasn't stable again. He left with zero accounts. He didn't have anything to start again, and he started struggling to survive. Bella Shmurda fed us for three months when the issue happened as things were hard," Wunmi said.

Mohbad's wife speaks on auxiliary nurse's injection

During the coroner's inquest into the tragic death of Nigerian singer Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, best known as Mohbad, Omawumi, the deceased's wife, revealed some unknown information.

She said in her testimony on Tuesday, November 7, that her husband began vomiting and complaining of pain after an auxiliary nurse administered an injection on Tuesday, September 12, at about 1pm.

Omawumi's evidence suggests that a fight Mohbad had with his friend Prime Boy was somehow linked to the circumstances leading up to his death. She said Mohbad was hurt on Sunday, September 10, when he got into the fight with Prime Boy in Ikorodu.
