Fresh controversy has emerged surrounding the tragic case of late Nigerian singer Mohbad, as a newly surfaced audio recording has alleged that rapper Zlatan Ibile was aware of the incident involving Mohbad and music promoter Sam Larry but chose to remain silent.
The voice recording, shared online by social media commentator Very Dark Man, claims that Zlatan had full knowledge of what transpired between Mohbad and Sam Larry during a now-infamous altercation, which many believe contributed to the emotional toll that plagued Mohbad in the months leading up to his death.
In the audio, the speaker suggests that Zlatan intentionally refrained from speaking publicly about the incident out of fear of social media backlash.
The revelation has reignited public interest in Mohbad’s case, especially as calls for justice continue following his mysterious death in September 2023. Fans and advocates have often questioned the silence of prominent figures close to the late artist during his turbulent final months.
Zlatan, who had been publicly seen with Mohbad and paid tribute to him after his passing, has not responded to the circulating audio or the allegations as of the time of this report.
Mohbad, born Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, passed away under controversial circumstances, sparking protests, investigations, and nationwide outrage. The case remains under official investigation.
