Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, known professionally as MohBad, was a Nigerian rapper, singer, and songwriter from Lagos, born on 8 June 1996. He was formerly signed to Naira Marley's Marlian Records and left the label in 2022. He was best known for his hit singles "Ponmo, Feel Good" and "KPK (Ko Por Ke)" (You Will Always Be Remembered) with Rexxie, which was nominated three times for The Headies awards in 2022.

Unfortunately, Mohbad died at 27 after allegedly being treated for an infection on 12 September 2023, leaving behind his wife Wunmi and their son. On 5 October 2022, MohBad accused his manager, Naira Marley, of assault and claimed that Marley ordered people to beat him up after he announced his decision to leave him and find a different manager to handle his music and business affairs. He sustained severe injuries and was hospitalized for several days.

After MohBad's death, it was reported that he had filed a police report in June 2023 alleging that Samson Balogun, a music promoter nicknamed "Sam Larry" and a "known associate" of Marley's, had assaulted him and destroyed some of his property. In the report, MohBad said that Larry had interrupted a video shoot, leading a group of 15 men armed with firearms and cutlasses who claimed to work for monarch Oba Elegushi.

The label has denied the allegations, and the police later said MohBad had not attended a subsequent meeting to address the allegations and that Balogun and others accused of the assault had then filed a defamation complaint. Elegushi released a statement distancing himself from Balogun and expressing condolences on MohBad's death.

Mohbad's death has sparked outrage among Nigerians, who have called for justice. Nollywood actress lyabo Ojo has called for a peaceful protest over Mohbad's death. In an Instagram Live video, Ojo said the protest would be held this week and called parents and youths to join her. She also said the protesters would send a letter to "all the respectable offices and also to international bodies."

In the video, she said, "We are not coming to fight, but we are coming to your office so that you can understand that we need justice."

Even though Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the Governor of Lagos State and the police have said they would investigate the circumstances of the singer's death, Ojo's call for a protest will likely amplify the demand for accountability further and bring justice for him and his family.
