Following the death of Nigerian singer Ilerioluwa Oladimeji, fondly called MohBad, a privately owned radio broadcast station, Fresh FM 106.9 FM, Ado in Ekiti State, banned the playing of songs by Nigerian singer, Azeez Fashola, popularly known as Naira Marley, from airing on the station.
The radio station disclosed this in a post shared on its Instagram handle (@freshfm1069adoekiti) and signed by its Head of production and Music Content, Oluwaseunfunmi Williams.
The ban follows the criticism surrounding Naira Marley over the death of his former signee.
Nigerians have called out Naira Marley for being responsible for Mohbad’s death.
Naira Marley signed Mohbad to his Marlian Recod label in 2019, and after Mohbad accused Naira Marley of repeatedly attacking him, the two parted ways in a hostile manner in 2022.
In one of his IG videos, Mohbad was seen crying for help. He said, “Everybody in the whole world, If I die today it’s Marlian Music and Naira Marley that K*lled me” – Singer Mohbad says as he cries for help on his IG live.”
The Radio station wrote: “Following the public outcry from the general public trialing the death of Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba (Mohbad), the alleged victimisation from different videos going viral and the involvement of members of his previous record label (Marlian records), fresh 106.9 fm has suspended the airplay of all songs and contents under the banner of Marlian Records,” it said.
