Abosede, the mother of late Ilerioluwa Aloba aka Mohbad has opened up on why the late singer decided to keep his wedding to Omowunmi and the birth of his son away from the public.
According to her, Mohbad kept his life private due to the threats and pressure he faced from his former label boss, Naira Marley.
“My son lived in fear all his life. It was because of Naira Marley that my son did not publicise his wedding and the birth of his son. Mohbad was a good man. He never trafficked cocaine. I am saying this with conviction,” she said in a recent live TikTok session.
She also claimed Joseph Aloba, Mohbad’s father, was responsible for delaying the DNA test to confirm the paternity of Liam, the singer’s son.
Abosede expressed frustration over the ongoing controversy, stating that she and Omowunmi were ready for the test.
“Jossy is the one delaying the DNA. We are ready for DNA. Wunmi must do the DNA because of Liam. I know he is my grandchild. When Mohbad was alive he never mentioned Liam was not his,” she said.
Abosede recalled how Aloba took pictures with Liam just days before Mohbad’s death, suggesting that he never doubted the child’s paternity.
She insisted that her son was a good man and denied rumour linking him to drug trafficking.
Addressing another controversy, Abosede clarified that Adura, Mohbad’s brother, was not the person who contacted actor Yomi Fabiyi with information about the singer’s death. She accused Yomi of attempting to frame Adura based on false claims from Damola, another individual involved in the case.
Omowunmi, Mohbad’s widow, earlier called out Aloba for avoiding the DNA test, further fueling speculation about his true intentions.
Mohbad died on September 12, 2023, under controversial circumstances, and his body was exhumed for an autopsy nine days later. However, the case remains unresolved as family tensions continue to dominate headlines.
