It is with heavy hearts that we share the devastating news of the passing of Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, better known to the world as Mohbad.

The 27-year-old Nigerian singer, who shot to stardom in 2020 with his hit song "Ko Po Ke," met an untimely demise following a medical incident that has left fans and the music industry in mourning.

According to sources from the singer's team, Mohbad sought medical attention on Tuesday, September 12, 2023, for an infection developed from a previous injury. While at the hospital, he received an injection as part of his treatment but tragically lost consciousness and did not recover.

Mohbad's rise to fame was nothing short of meteoric, with Marlian Records, headed by Naira Marley, signing him in 2019 before the release of his chart-topping track. However, his journey was marred by disputes over royalties, leading to his departure from the label in 2022. His legal team cited constant attacks, allegedly orchestrated by Naira Marley, as the reason for his exit.

A dark cloud had loomed over Mohbad in 2023 when reports surfaced of a suicide attempt, shedding light on his turmoil due to his affiliation with Marley's label. Bella Shmurda, during an interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo, revealed a harrowing incident when Mohbad's girlfriend frantically interrupted a gathering, revealing that he had attempted to jump off a balcony. The incident served as a grim precursor to the unfortunate events that unfolded.

Mohbad's untimely passing has left a void in the Nigerian music industry, as his music made a profound impact in a remarkably short span. As the public grapples with this tragic loss, tributes from fans and fellow celebrities continue to pour in on social media, celebrating the legacy of a rising star whose music touched the hearts of many.
