Mohbad: Naira Marley Mulls Lawsuit Against K-Solo Amid Allegations
Nigerian singer Naira Marley, born Afeez Fashola, is considering legal action against record producer K-Solo, also known as Solomon Oyeniyi, following allegations made against him.
This is as K-Solo, who, during a recent appearance on Channels TV’s “Rubbin’ Minds,” accused the singer of playing a role in the untimely death of his former signee, Mohbad.
During the September 17 interview, K-Solo claimed, “Naira Marley is involved in Mohbad’s death. He cannot tell me he is not involved. He has a hand in his death.”
Naira Marley’s team argues that the damaging allegations, lacking substantial evidence, have inflicted significant harm on the singer’s reputation.
In a statement released on October 26, Naira Marley’s media team announced plans to pursue legal action against K-Solo for defamation of character.
The statement emphasized the importance of concrete proof when making allegations against the singer, aiming to prevent unfounded accusations from tarnishing Naira Marley’s reputation.
Naira Marley, steadfast in denying any connection to Mohbad’s tragic demise, has urged K-Solo to present evidence supporting the accusations made against him.
The statement reads “The legal team representing Naira Marley will be initiating legal action against K-Solo for defamation of character. It is essential to emphasize that making unfounded allegations and false statements can have far-reaching consequences.
“Accusations of this nature not only tarnish the image of the accused but also perpetuate baseless claims that have spread like wildfire because elements like K-Solo and others (especially two known actresses) have spearheaded the campaign of calumny against the person of Naira for reasons best known to them.
“In the past, we kept quiet because we wanted to honour the memory of the dead and honour the relationship with him but we realized many people are setting a negative agenda and spreading a negative narrative against Naira Marley. We will no longer fold our hands and watch people with a negative agenda drag Naira Marley.
“From this moment on, anyone who alleges must present concrete proof not only on the Internet but also in a Court of Law. Every falsehood and rumor will be met with severity and full weight of the law.” it added
Nigerian rapper Speed Darlington has alleged that he narrowly escaped an assassination attempt early on Monday morning.

“Long face sent killers my way, and I have not even posted anything. Bro, is this necessary? You tried to take my life. Really?” he said, visibly shaken in the footage.
The rapper further expressed his disbelief, saying, “I never talk anything he don dey send killers, what is he scared of! That means am right.”
Though he did not explicitly identify the person behind the alleged attack, his comments have fueled speculation that the incident may be linked to his recent controversies and publicized detention.
Recall that Speed Darlington had been released from Kuje prison, where he had been held for undisclosed charges.
His lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, has previously suggested that the Afrofusion star Burna Boy played a role in the rapper’s detention.
Authorities have yet to comment on the matter, and an investigation is reportedly underway.

Responding to the video, she wrote, “This is wrong on all levels, and you should be ashamed of yourself for bringing this here. Bring it on. If you think she’s alone, let me tell you here that you’ll have to fight all of us.”
The media personality further vented her frustration in an Instagram story, urging women to speak out against the situation.
“I’m not one for too much talk, but what is wrong is wrong, and as a woman, if you sit on the fence on this one, if it misses you, it’ll touch your daughter or any female in your family,” she posted. “No one is innocent, and if you want to bring the media into it, knowing what is happening, we would fight for her.”
Toke’s anger didn’t stop there.
On Monday, she shared another Instagram story, questioning 2Baba’s decision to make the divorce public at this particular time.
“Nobody is asking anybody to stay in a situation that’s not serving them any purpose anymore; by all means, leave if you must, but why bring this online this very moment?” she wrote.

She also suggested that the true details behind their separation would eventually come to light, adding, “We know what is going on behind closed doors. The world doesn’t know anything; it’s already been hectic with opinions flying around, and when I say we will fight for her, I’m not talking about the general public. A handful of people know the truth, and time will tell.”
Toke concluded her message by highlighting the importance of timing and empathy in handling personal matters, especially when it involves high-profile individuals like 2Baba and Annie.
“You constantly preach love; you cannot add to the narrative that’s out there when you know what is really happening behind closed doors,” she stated.
