In an exclusive interview, Iyabo Ojo’s husband, Paulo, has opened up about his last encounter with the late singer, Mohbad, and the guilt he feels, fearing he may have unintentionally caused the singer’s demise.
Paulo revealed that their interaction took place during a personal show in the UK, where he had brought Mohbad to perform. It was during this trip that Mohbad expressed concerns about receiving threats, leading Paulo to consider the need for security.
In his own words, Paulo shared the following:
“I think I’m even the person who caused all this wahala. If I didn’t take Mohbad to UK I don’t think all this could have started again. Because after the UK show, he got a show in Greece, had a European tour, and started having all these opportunities again. I feel so sad."
“I told him we are going to London, get me your passport, I will get you your Visa, we are doing a UK tour. He was just panicking. Even when he came to London, we were in one of the hotels, he started telling me that he is getting threats. Listen, I didn’t know this thing was this bad."
“When he told me he needed security, I told him, what is security gonna do, you are in London. And he showed me something, that was when I told him that as long as he is here, he is okay, nobody is coming to touch him. I spoke to him and his manager, and I also told him that we will get him a security guard.”
Following the revelation of Mohbad’s progress and opportunities after the UK show, netizens took to social media to express themselves. Many speculated on the circumstances surrounding Mohbad’s death, with some suggesting jealousy within the industry:
@Ladytaeofficial said: “He was starting to get back up, and they got jealous of him…This life!”
@farulee12 commented: “The boy literally lived his last days in fear and panic. But why exactly??”
@Dongarrus1 said: “It’s too bad that everyone is now trying to look good for a dead person.”
@Biodun_OG said: “More secrets need to be disclosed. This industry is a crime scene.”
@jaybaba0098h said: “Omo! And I believe we haven’t seen anything. More revelations to come.”
@obajemuinr commented: “Home and abroad Mohbad never had the peace he sang about, I don’t wish this type of oppression on my enemy.”
@Ish commented: “His death will unveil more criminal things in the industry, not just on Marlians records only. Because all of these people are connected somehow.”
