Singer Naira Marley has denied any involvement in the death of Afrobeats star Mohbad, saying he did not torture nor attack the late Peace crooner contrary to speculations. 

Further, he also denied involvement in drugs trafficking and being a member of cult group.

In a statement shared on his Instagram handle, Naira Marley said he never fought the late Nigerian singer.

27-year-old Mohbad died in Lagos on September 12 in a mysterious manner with many Nigerians linking Naira Marley to the incident following their fallout in 2022.

According to the statement, Naira Marley said all manner of stories had been pedded against him in respect of Mohbad’s death.

He expressed his readiness to assist the police authorities in unravelling the circumstances surrounding the death of his former signee, Mohbad.

“I will like to clearly state that I have never fought or attacked Mohbad. For the avoidance of doubt, I have never instructed anyone, friend, known associates or fans to attack, bully or harass Mohbad. With regards to the talent on the label, none of our artists ever fought or mistreated Mohbad,” the statement read.

“Permit me to categorically state that I have no hand in the death of llerioluwa, either directly or indirectly.”

“The rumours regarding the label being a drug cartel are untrue. I am not a drug lord, neither do I Marley belong to any cult or fraternity. I’m dedicated to proving my innocence and I’m cooperating with the authorities to clear my name with sufficient evidence,” he said.

“Marlian Music is an independent label run by a small intimate team. We run a legitimate label that focuses on championing exceptional talent, breaking new acts, and nurturing them.”

The controversial entertainer expressed his readiness to assist the police in unravelling the circumstances surrounding Mohbad’s death.

He also stated that he is making arrangements to return to the country to assist in the ongoing investigation over the death of his former signee.
