Oxlade had shared his Instagram conversation with Mohbad. However, fans were quick to observe through the chats that Mohbad’s account was placed on restriction.

However, Oxlade clarified the issue on his X handle, saying, “I only restrict accounts I have a personal relationship with because my label runs my account in order not to miss important bookings and business conversations.
