Singer Naira Marley has threatened to sue music producer, Solomom Oyeniyi aka K.Solo over defamation of character.

The singer via his legal team on Thursday released a statement to threaten to sue anyone with claims that Naira Marley has hands in the death of one of his old signee, Mohbad.

Recall that following the death of the singer, several videos surfaced the internet showing disturbing videos and pictures of harassment and bullying going on in the music industry.

Naira Marley was questioned alongside many others like an associate, Sam Larry, and friends of the deceased. They were locked up for participating in the bullying and assault.

K.Solo while on Channels’ Rubbin Minds said Naira Marley should be held responsible because he is somewhat aware of what happened to Mohbad.

In response, Naira Marley’s legal team in a statement said, “The legal team representing Naira Marley will be initiating legal action against K-Solo for defamation of character. It is essential to emphasize that making unfounded allegations and false statements can have far-reaching consequences.

“Accusations of this nature not only tarnish the image of the accused but also perpetuate baseless claims that have spread like wildfire because elements like K-Solo and others (especially two known actresses) have spearheaded the campaign of calumny against the person of Naira for reasons best known to them.

“In the past, we kept quiet because we wanted to honour the memory of the dead and honour the relationship with him but we realized many people are setting a negative agenda and spreading a negative narrative against Naira Marley. We will no longer fold our hands and SEE people with a negative agenda drag Naira Marley.

“From this moment on, anyone who alleges must present concrete proof not only on the Internet but also in a Court of Law. Every falsehood and rumor will be met with severity and full weight of the law.”

Auto dealer, Ikechukwu Ogbonna also known as IVD, has apologised to Blessing CEO for not revealing that Davido has in fact paid his debt.

Recall that Blessing CEO some days ago had stated that Davido is owing IVD N4.5m for the balance of a car purchased for Israel DMW.

Blessing said Davido had refused to pay for years. Following the post made by IVD debunking the rumour, Blessing had gone further to share the voicenote between them where IVD had disclosed that Davido was owing him.

IVD in a new post on his Instagram apologised to Blessing. He said he should have carried her along with the updates. He said Davido has paid his debt.

His post read, “Am using this oppression to thank everyone who called by to check up on me.

“Blessing sorry for not carrying you along that Davido has paid. Thanks IVD Group.”

After a motion moved by Babajimi Benson the Lawmaker representing Ikorodu Constituency, Naira Marley and Mohbad’s manager have been invited to the House of Representatives.

The House Committee on Justice, Youth and Legislative Compliance, also invited Mohbad’s manager, Jiggy Adeoye, to appear on October 31.

The House resolution followed the adoption of a motion moved by Babajimi Benson, the lawmaker representing Ikorodu Federal Constituency, Lagos State on Thursday, October 26.

Benson had called for a review of relevant laws guiding the entertainment industry as well as copyright laws while expressing concerns about the contracts and agreements that entertainers are compelled to sign. 

In a letter dated October 26 and signed by the committee’s clerk, Yusuf Ibrahim, the House said both Naira Marley and Mohbad’s manager were needed to guide the committee on further legislative action.

The former Marlian Music signee, whose real name was Ilerioluwa Olademeji Aloba aka Mohbad, died on Tuesday, September 12, 2023, in controversial circumstances.

Mohbad left Marlian Music in 2022 due to an internal dispute and allegations of assaults.
