Imole shining even from the great beyond.

On the flip side, I think one of Mohbad's problems was that he was too simplistic about life and hustles. He wasn't that deep and like his name Imole, his heart had more lighted side than dark side. He came from the street due to the marital situation of his parents but he didn't belong to the street. The street is mean. The street is a jungle. The street is full of dark-hearted people. His father who raised him in the absence of his separated mother appear to have non self-assertive and tame personality. It looks obvious that Mohbad got these soft characteristics as well as his singing talent from him.

Unfortunately, Naira Marley drew a battle line and clearly communicated that to Mohbad but he didn't respond with the required sense of street apprehensiveness. He didn't seem to have taken the critical measures needed to protect himself out there in the street. He failed to apply the wisdom that the person who is pursued by or surrounded by enemies engages in eternal vigilance. He needed a strong spiritual cover and should have used his 'absent' mother as mothers could go long distant spiritual journeys to protect their children like mother-hen.

From videos on the SM, you could see a simple human being who just wanted to sing and be happy but unfortunately the world is a lot more complicated than simplistic. And it is even worse when you encounter a narcistic and dark-hearted fellow who has a long history of gangsterism from Peckam street of London.

May his gentle Soul rest in peace.

Mohbad is dead and he went to the grave on his family's approval but was brought back for autopsy due to public interest.

It is okay to mourn the early demise of the short-lived popstar but I stand with Naira Marley in all of this.

I stand with Naira Marley as a capitalist believer. Zinolesky, Mohbad, Kizz Daniel, Ayra Starr, Rema, Asake, Fireboy, Khaid are not musical stars just because they are talented. In fact, being a popular musical star has nothing to do with knowing how to sing or one's dexterity with musical instruments.

They're musical stars because someone took a loan from the bank or lenders and invested tens of millions of Naira or even dollars to put them in your faces until you accept them as stars by force. Everyone blames the record label bosses because they're not the main actors who perform on stage.

An idea is worth nothing without the resources to amplify it. In tech, angel investors and venture capitalists take the lion's share leaving founders with the bulk of the burden. In sports, agents like Mendes take their big cut. If it was easy, Mbappe would just wake up and leave PSG for Madrid. Why is it always different in the music business?

Defend the deceased as much as you like but the fact remains that nobody on the face of the earth forced him to sign the deal with Marlian records. When you sign an agreement, fortunately, one that brings fame and money to you, the least you can do is honour it.

If Loan Apps in Nigeria, like Palmpay, that have foreign investors and major corporate personnel have resorted to blackmailing the families of loan defaulters and even crashing events to disgrace and arrest their debtors what do you think street boys who hustled all their lives will do if a fellow ghetto nobody they lifted out of poverty plays ping pong with their millions worth of investment?

I unequivocally condemn the mode of debt recovery above as I only used that real-life scenario to point out the fact that Mohbad was Naira Marley's debtor until he died. The Courtroom or Arbitration house remains the best destination for dispute settlement.

However it must be stated that Mohbad's tragedy and Naira Marley's cancellation is like a loan app debtor committing suicide because the loan sharks blackmailed him to his family, friends, and colleagues. Naira Marley is simply that loan shark whose chronic debtor is involved in a fatal accident while trying to avoid the loan shark's constant harassment. Nobody blames the dead debtor but everyone blames the loan shark who had once given the debtor money and hope even though the debtor failed to keep his own part of the bargain.

My thoughts and prayers are with his family in their period of grief. I genuinely mourn Mohbad but refuse to join the herd to link his death to Naira Marley.

Celebrities are under too much pressure. I’m speaking from experience. The kind of pressure I face daily, sometimes I wish I were some street urchin
