That was the last time we ever communicated with Mohbad. On May 12, 2024, I heard Mohbad was taking the distributor to court for copyright infringement. It has nothing to do with marlian music. We had no case in court because we understood each other. The last time I ever saw Mohbad was on October 4, 2022 when he fought with his manager. After all these, Mohbad was telling people he wanted to come and apologize to me. If I knew he would d!e, 1 would have let him come

Then I went on Twitter and saw 'Naira Marley, finally you k!lled him. Then they started posting 2022 videos of the NDLEA incident and the f!ght he had with his manager
