Naira Marley, on Tuesday, in a statement released on his Instagram account, distanced himself from Mohbad’s death.
However, on Wednesday, former Presidential aide, Reno Omokri shared a video of Naira Marley and Mohbad conversing.
During the purported phone conversation, the ‘Yahoo Boy’ crooner said that the late singer mentioned to him about feeling suicidal and had already done a video telling the world to blame Naira Marley and his team for his death.
The video has sparked mixed reactions online, with many questioning Naira Marley’s purpose in recording the conversation while others claimed it could be AI-generated to exonerate himself.
