Naira Marley stated that he never had any disputes or disagreements with Mohbad, mentioning that the only conflict Mohbad experienced was with his manager, Tunde.
“Their fight started from a group chat which I still have the evidence with me. I tried to settle their differences but it got out of hand to the extent that they got physical. I even gave Mohbad the option of changing his manager if that would make him happy. When they got physical I didn’t report to the police because it was Mohbad that employed Tunde,” he said.

He, however, revealed he was waiting for a family representative to come for Mohbad’s royalties. “Concerning his royalties, Ever since Mohbad d!ed, I have never spent one pin from his money. His money is still with me. I am waiting for the right person to come from his family so that I can give the money to the person. “I will advise the court to arrest all the people that were with him 24 hours before he d!ed, the people that invited him to the show and the people that were in the car with him,” he said.
