In a surprising twist to the ongoing Mohbad controversy, Nigerian singer Naira Marley has shared old private conversations with actress Iyabo Ojo, revealing that she once sought his support for her events and an adopted son’s music career.

The development comes months after Iyabo Ojo publicly accused Naira Marley of bullying Mohbad, leading to his tragic death on September 12, 2023. Following massive public outcry, the Lagos State Police exhumed Mohbad’s body for autopsy to determine the cause of his untimely passing.

Since then, Ojo has been one of the loudest voices demanding justice for Mohbad, a former signee of Naira Marley’s Marlian Music label.

Naira Marley’s Attempt to Shift the Narrative?

On Monday, Naira Marley posted screenshots of private chats from 2021 to 2022, where Ojo allegedly invited him to her movie premiere, her late mother’s remembrance, and sought his help in promoting her adopted son’s music career.

However, he did not add any captions or comments, leaving the posts open to interpretation.

Public Reactions: Deflection or Proof?

Many social media users have questioned the relevance of these old conversations, asking:

👉 Is Naira Marley trying to shift attention away from the Mohbad case?
👉 Does Ojo’s past association with him change the allegations she made?
👉 Why release the chats now, months after the controversy began?

Some supporters believe Marley is trying to expose hypocrisy, while critics see it as a weak attempt at deflection.

The Bigger Picture: Justice for Mohbad Still Matters

Regardless of past friendships or collaborations, the key issue remains: What truly happened to Mohbad?

Rather than diverting focus with old chats, the real question is whether Naira Marley and others linked to the case will be held accountable if found guilty. Until then, the fight for justice continues.

What do you think—is this a smart move or a desperate distraction?
