Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo has come out to respond to Naira Marley after he posted their old conversations online. She recently had her say via her social media page, and fans have been reacting.
According to her, as a TikTok sensation, she has promoted Naira Marley’s songs in the past, however, when disturbing petitions alleged that Sam Larry was bullying Mohbad in recent years, she immediately questioned Naira Marley’s inaction amid the saga.
Iyabo added that her only issue with Naira Marley stemmed from his failure to intervene in Mohbad’s bullying.
Her words, “Naira Marley recently shared our old chats, and I’d like to address some points. As a TikTok sensation, I’ve promoted various artists’ songs, including Naira Marley. In 2020, I promoted his song after his team contacted me through my son Festus.
However, when disturbing videos and petitions alleged that Sam Larry, Naira Marley’s friend, bullied Mohbad, a young artist who tragically lost his life, I questioned Naira Marley’s inaction. I never accused him of killing Mohbad, but the evidence suggests Mohbad’s life was threatened.
My issue with Naira Marley stems from his failure to intervene in Mohbad’s bullying. Furthermore, I’ve been made aware of allegations regarding Naira Marley’s involvement in other disturbing incidents, which will be addressed in court if necessary.
I won’t turn a blind eye to injustice, even if it involves someone I’m close to. I interact with many celebrities via DM, including Vice Versa, and I won’t hesitate to speak out against injustice, regardless of our past interactions. Naira Marley, you were mistaken if you thought I’d stay silent.”
WOW.
