Nigerian music artist Mohbad has alleged that his label boss Naira Marley and other members of his record label wants to kill him.

In a distressed Instagram live video, the artist called out Naira Marley and other members of the label Marlian records saying “I don’t know why this people have been hating on me, they have been doing bad bad things on me, I went mad because of this issue now they are trying to kill me.”

“Everybody in the whole world please help me, if I die just know it was Marlian Music and Naira Marley that  killed me,” he said.

Shortly after, another Instagram live video revealed that the artist was taken to a hospital at Chevron drive, Lagos where he was crying out saying, “please help me, I don’t want to die.”

The reason for his outburst is yet to be confirmed, but it comes after the artist and his colleague, Zinolesky, were arrested by NDLEA officers for alleged possession of cannabis and and another psychotropic drug Molly on February 24.

He was later released by the anti-narcotics agency.
