In the interview, Naira Marley stated that he was not in Nigeria when Mohbad died. He explained that he was in Europe, specifically Amsterdam, at the time of the incident. According to him, when he first saw online posts about Mohbad’s passing, he thought it was just clout-chasing until he confirmed the news was real.
He also stressed that media narratives twisted the situation, portraying him in ways he felt were unfair. Marley insisted that he had no involvement in Mohbad’s death and repeated that the official investigation had already cleared him of wrongdoing earlier in 2025.
How did Naira Marley describe his relationship with Mohbad?
Naira Marley explained that their relationship was more personal than the public assumed. He said he often advised Mohbad against substance use and tried to guide him through the pressures of fame. Marley acknowledged there were disagreements in the past but argued that their issues had been exaggerated on social media.
Why is this interview important?
The interview matters because it is Marley’s most direct attempt at addressing lingering doubts from fans. Even though the Department of Public Prosecution (DPP) released a report clearing Marley and others earlier in 2025, the public debate hasn’t ended. With this video, he appears to be trying to reset the conversation and clear his name before a wider audience.
What has been the reaction so far?
Public reactions are mixed.
Supporters feel the interview shows transparency and offers a chance to hear his own account rather than relying on speculation. Critics argue that his statements came too late and that some issues he addressed still raise unanswered questions.
Clips from the interview have been circulating widely on Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter (X), sparking heated arguments between fans of Marlian Music and those who believe the case is still unresolved in the court of public opinion.
What does this mean for Naira Marley’s career?
This interview could shape the next phase of Naira Marley’s career. With the stigma of Mohbad’s death still tied to his name, public trust is his biggest challenge. The sit-down may help him reconnect with loyal fans, but convincing skeptics will likely take more than words—it may require new music, live performances, and consistent public engagement.
