Fans react as Naira Marley debunks Mohbad’s assault claim
By Funmilayo Olusanya
Marlians record boss, Naira Marley, has denied being involved in singer, Mohbad assault.
Biztellers has reported that Mohbad allegedly claimed in a video via Twitter that he was assaulted at the Marlian House by his management team after demanding a new manager.
The singer, who was wearing a white singlet, was visible in the seven-second video clip with bruises on his hand, neck, and back.
“Just because I want to change my manager which is their brother, see what they did to me at Marlian House,” he wrote.

However, Naira Marley responded to the accusation by calling the incident a “family affair.”
The singer claimed that Mohbad was probably “high” (drunk) when making the complaint in a response to the situation in an Instagram live video.
“Obviously, he (Mohbad) is not in his right sense. It is obvious he is not in the right state of mind. Because why will I touch Mohbad or allow anyone to touch Mohbad?,” he said.
Also on his Twitter handle, Naira Marley wrote, “Mohbad has a history of getting intoxicated which affects his emotions and actions. #ImNotPerfect. However, all issues would be resolved amicably within the record label.”
“I need my bro Mohbad to come on live so u guys can see I don’t have any reasons to lie on him,” he wrote in another tweet.
Fans, particularly on the microblogging website Twitter, claimed that there was more to Mohbad’s accusation, obviously not buying Naira Marley’s version of events.
They asserted that the musician had previously come forward to ask for support in his battle with the Naira Marley-led management group.
@drpenking wrote, “When Mohbad cried out, some people predicted that Naira Marley will come out and say he was on drugs. Guess what? The exact thing played out within an hour. How many times will it happen? Why is Mohbad always accusing them anytime he is “high”? Naira needs to do better.”
@Mbahdeyforyou wrote, “This isn’t the first time Mohbad is crying out for help, something fishy is really going on.”
@Najia_talker said, “Naira Marley,we no need all these explanations. Just free mohbad. It’s like he’s tired of the record label. Free him. Do more PR for Zino too. Zino needs mad PR and better management. I don’t mind if you free zino too. Zino is underrated and under-promoted. Can’t imagine zino in YBNL”
@AkinyeleWO wrote, “Mohbad should get himself a very good lawyer and look for a way to get himself out of that label. This is looking like slavery already.”
@theonlysekoni said, “Seriously Mohbad is not meant to go through this, this is the second time he’s crying for help.”
@UncleYakub wrote, “Just as it was the last time, Naira Marley is saying Mohbad is high. There’s something fishy going on in that record label and it will definitely unfold someday.”
@the_smallie said, “Omo see as dem beat Mohbad, what exactly is happening in Marlians record?”
@_VALKING wrote, “This isn’t the first time Mohbad is crying out for help, what’s really going on, when no be say na cult he join?”
@_theladymo said, “I don’t understand how you’d have a gold mine like Mohbad and you’d be assaulting him like that. Omo!”
Eloswag, a former contestant on Big Brother Naija Season 7, has broken his silence following the release of his private video online.
The reality star reportedly uploaded a clip featuring himself and an unidentified woman on his Snapchat account at approximately 3 a.m. on Sunday.
Though Eloswag swiftly deleted the video, it had already caught the attention of the internet.
The explicit content quickly gained traction after being reposted by the controversial gossip blog, Gistlover, sparking widespread conversations across social media platforms.
In response to the incident, Eloswag took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his frustration and consider possible legal action.
In a now-deleted post, he wrote, “I mistakenly posted a video on my Snapchat by 3am and deleted it immediately, guess who has the video? GISTLOVER? How? Please, can I sue? Because it doesn’t make sense.”

The reality star’s reaction highlights the challenges celebrities face when intimate content finds its way online.
While some supporters have shown empathy, others have engaged in heated debates about the responsibility of public figures in handling their digital content.
Eloswag’s predicament places him alongside other Nigerian celebrities who have dealt with similar scandals, such as Moyo Lawal, Tiwa Savage, Oxlade, and James Brown, whose private videos have previously surfaced online.
Legal experts have weighed in on Eloswag’s potential case, noting that while pursuing legal action against individuals or platforms that share such content can be complex, it is not impossible.
The development has reignited discussions on digital privacy and the ethical responsibilities of content-sharing platforms.
As Eloswag’s fans and critics await further updates, the incident underscores the precarious nature of online privacy and the far-reaching consequences of a single momentary lapse.
