Mohbad’s management has issued an official statement through the late artist’s official X handle, expressing gratitude for the widespread support following the passing of the late artist and requesting the release of royalties owed by Naira Marley from his songs.


The management wrote, “We appreciate the outpouring of love from the general public following the passing of Mohbad.

“The circumstances surrounding his death are truly painful and we are open to provide any cooperation necessary to the authorities to carry out any investigations.

“Right now we are focused on making sure the Legacy of Mohbad lives on and he is remembered as he was in his final months; free strong and fighting for a future. Before his passing, Mohbad was in court to retrieve the majority of his songs and unpaid royalties which were wrongfully held by Marlian Music.

“We will continue to fight to retrieve his catalogue and unpaid royalties so that through these, those he left behind, especially his son; Liam Imole, will be provided for.

“We want #JusticeforMohbad, and Ww will appreciate all the support we can get in this fight to retrieve his catalogue from Marlain Music, as this is the justice that Mohbad was working towards.

“Imole Lives on’’.
