Mohbad: Iyabo Ojo Claps Back At Naira Marley, Demands N1bn
Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo has replied to a letter sent by Nigerian singer Naira Marley’s lawyer, Olalekan Ojo on Monday.
Iyabo responded by requesting N1 billion from Naira Marley for neglecting to deliver a pre-action letter.
According to the document published on the Instagram handle of the actress (@IyaboOjofebris), Iyabo demanded the amount over Naira Marley’s act of “deliberately misleading the public.”
Earlier, Naira Marley had demanded a public apology and N500 million in damages from Iyabo.
An Instagram post by Iyabo in September 2023 was cited.
She was said to have allegedly accused Naira Marley of engaging in “spiritual and physical dealings” with popular late singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, also known as Mohbad which allegedly caused the late act’s “mental harm.”
“It is our instruction that sometime in September 2023, you maliciously and falsely published of and concerning our client on your official Instagram handle ‘iyaboojofespris.’
“Your publication of the above words on the Internet which is readily accessible to users of the system constituted a serious libel and has caused our client colossal damage to his reputation.
“Our client requires you within seven days after the receipt or delivery of this letter an unequivocal retraction.
“The public apology is to be published on your official Instagram handle, @iyaboojofespris, and also on one national daily.”
Responding, Iyabo, through her counsel said, “Our client would’ve ordinarily dismissed your letter dated December 12, 2023, for being outrightly inconsequential and of no relevance, premised on your failure to transmit the correspondence till this very day.
“Our client finds your client’s demands spurious, frivolous and clout-chasing but shall initiate an action in case your client fails to do so. Our client shall be claiming the sum of N1bn.”

Seun Kuti Distances Himself From Burna Boy, Speed Darlington’s Feud
Renowned singer, Seun Kuti, has made it clear that he wants no involvement in the ongoing dispute between his fellow artists, Burna Boy and Speed Darlington.
The conflict began after Speed Darlington accused Burna Boy of engaging in an inappropriate relationship with American music mogul, Diddy, as a means to secure a Grammy Award. The accusation led to Speed Darlington’s arrest, further fuelling the controversy.
During a recent Instagram live session, Seun Kuti addressed fans who tried to draw him into the drama. He stated that his acceptance of diamond jewellery from Burna Boy does not place him in the position of an advisor to the Grammy-winning artist.

“Don’t involve me in Burna Boy & Speed Darlington’s case; because I collected a diamond from him doesn’t mean I’m his close adviser,” Kuti said.
The Afrobeat singer went on to highlight the irony in the allegations, pointing out that Diddy, whom Speed Darlington accused Burna Boy of associating with, played a role in making Speed Darlington famous.
He explained, “Diddy was even the one who made Speed Darlington popular. He reposted ‘Bangdadang’ which made the song popular. I have done a lot of songs, and Diddy never posted any of them, but he reposted Speed Darlington’s song.”
Seun Kuti’s remarks have since sparked discussions among fans and followers of the ongoing saga, as the fallout between Burna Boy and Speed Darlington continues to unfold.

However, Denilson Igwe, who has previously accused Mark Angel of financial misconduct, has hinted that the claims might be untrue. Responding via Instagram, Igwe wrote, “Lies na water. Some people are just worst than the devil.”

As reactions to the unfolding drama continue to pour in, fans are divided, with some questioning the authenticity of Mark Angel’s claims and others criticizing Igwe’s public approach to addressing the issue.
Neither Mark Angel nor his team has officially responded to Igwe’s latest remarks.
