‘‘Naira Marley thanked me through DM, and I also invited him to my movie premiere and my mother’s burial party.
‘‘As someone who supports emerging artists, I have helped so many young musicians promote their work. I have allowed them to use my lounge for shows, promoted their songs on TikTok, or introduced them to music producers like Naira Marley but left due to personal issues, and my nephew’s music style didn’t align with Naira Marley’s label.
‘‘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 have 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 am close to. I interact with many celebrities through DM and 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 will keep silent,” Iyabo Ojo said.
