In the midst of the controversies surrounding the tragic death of renowned singer Mohbad, the Elegushi Royal Family has officially distanced itself from the socialite Sam Larry. This move comes following the resurfacing of a petition for protection of life that was filed by the late Mohbad. The petition detailed harassment Mohbad faced during a video shoot allegedly involving Sam Larry.
Responding to the growing backlash against the socialite and his purported connection to the Elegushi family, the monarch's family has issued a statement to set the record straight. They emphatically denied any affiliation with Sam Larry.
According to the family's statement, Sam Larry, whose real name is Samson Balogun, is not a member of the royal family, nor does he work for the royal family or the king in any capacity. The statement clarifies that Sam Larry, like numerous other celebrities, politicians, religious figures, and community leaders, has visited the palace solely to pay homage to the king and seek royal blessings, much like any other member of the public.
