However, Iyabo Ojo insisted that her recent criticism of Naira Marley had nothing to do with their past interactions but was instead a response to his inaction amid allegations that his associate, Sam Larry, bullied late singer Mohbad.

Iyabo Ojo on her professional relationship with Naira Marley noted that “Naira Marley recently shared our old chats, and I’d like to address some points.

“As a TikTok sensation, I’ve promoted various artists’ songs, including Naira Marley. In 2020, I promoted his song after his team contacted me through my son Festus.

“Naira Marley thanked me via DM, and I also invited him to my movie premiere and my mother’s burial party.

“As someone who supports emerging artists, I’ve helped many young musicians promote their work. I’ve allowed them to use my lounge for shows, promoted their songs on TikTok, or introduced them to music producers like Naira Marley.

“For example, Fabian was signed by Naira Marley but left due to personal issues, and my nephew’s music style didn’t align with Naira Marley’s label.

“However, when disturbing videos and petitions alleged that Sam Larry, Naira Marley’s friend, bullied Mohbad, a young artist who tragically lost his life, I questioned Naira Marley’s inaction. I never accused him of killing Mohbad, but the evidence suggests Mohbad’s life was threatened.

“My issue with Naira Marley stems from his failure to intervene in Mohbad’s bullying. Furthermore, I’ve been made aware of allegations regarding Naira Marley’s involvement in other disturbing incidents, which will be addressed in court if necessary.

“I won’t turn a blind eye to injustice, even if it involves someone I’m close to. I interact with many celebrities via DM, including Vice Versa, and I won’t hesitate to speak out against injustice, regardless of our past interactions. Naira Marley, you were mistaken if you thought I’d stay silent.”
