Owodunni Ibrahim, also known as Primeboy, a close associate of the late singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, has refuted allegations made by the deceased’s mother, Abosede Adeyemo-Aloba, regarding their relationship prior to Mohbad’s death.
According to The PUNCH, Primeboy’s lawyer, Akinpelu Ogunbona, the musician responded to comments made by Adeyemo-Aloba during an online interview.
Mohbad’s mother had claimed in a statement that Primeboy had frequent altercations with her son and often complained about being neglected after Mohbad achieved fame.
“In the said interview, you alleged that our client always fought the late Mohbad and consistently complained about his neglect by the late Mohbad since the said late Mohbad rose to stardom. You also alleged that our client was advised to run away after the death of the late Mohbad so as not to be suspected regarding the death,” the statement read.
Primeboy described these claims as defamatory, asserting that the accusations were deliberate and had caused significant damage to his reputation and fanbase.
“Your actions are deliberate to injure and traduce the integrity of our client who is a rising star in the music industry,” the statement said.
“Your allegations in the interview have greatly and negatively impacted the affection and love being enjoyed by our client from his fans and well-wishers around the world.”
The singer has issued a seven-day ultimatum for Mohbad’s mother to retract her statement. If the retraction is not made within the given timeframe, Primeboy has threatened to pursue legal action.
Mohbad, who passed away at the age of 27 on September 12, 2023, left behind a wave of controversy regarding the circumstances of his death.
His body was exhumed on September 21, 2023, for an autopsy, with ongoing investigations leading to the arrest of fellow artist Naira Marley and socialite Balogun Eletu, also known as Sam Larry.
