A video has captured Joseph Aloba, the father of the late singer Mohbad, shedding bitter tears in one of his unreleased music videos.
Mohbad, an ex-Marlian record signee, d!ed under mysterious circumstances on September 12. He was buried the following day.
On September 21, the body of the 27-year-old music star was exhumed by the police for autopsy. The autopsy has still not been released 5 months after.
The circumstances of his d3ath, the property and paternity feud regarding his only son, Liam has kept Mohbad trending since his d3ath.
On Monday, Abosede Mohbad’s mother shocked the world when she allegedly revealed that Aloba is not the biological father of Mohbad.
Mohbad sang in one of his hit singles, about how his father suffered to raise him and his siblings with little and sometimes no salary. He regretted that for 10 years of his childhood, he did not see his mother and his stepmother did not care about him.
Sadly, in the audio bombshell, Mohbad’s mother described his dad, Aloba as a “thief” who is only interested in exploiting Mohbad’s death for financial gain.
She also gave him a three-day ultimatum to undergo a DNA test to ascertain if he was the father of Mohbad.
At about the same time when Abosede’s claim went viral, Aloba was seen in a video miming one of his yet-to-be-released tracks as he burst into tears at intervals.
In the song, Aloba asks why people like to spread rumours about him. Singing in the Yoruba language, he also says he does not know what he has done to deserve the “hate and criticism”.
Aloba laments that he no longer knows who is “my family or enemies”.
“Adabi a bi won o/ Adabi a beere/ Emio mo ohun won pe mo se ti won n fi rojo mi ka/ Tomo de tagbalagba lo n wa mi wale/ Different people I know are no longer my friend/ I no longer know my enemies/Let us be wary of whatever we are doing or saying,” he sings.
Issues concerning the paternity of Liam, Mohbad’s son with Omowunmi, have also been the subject of discussion.
Last month, Aloba accused Omowunmi of threatening to k!ll him.
