Sahara Weekly Reports That Following the death of the Nigerian music artiste Mohbad (nee Ifeoluwa Oladimeji Aloba) Nigerians have begun to sign a petition calling for the ban of the Naira Marley-owned record label, Marlian Music.
The petition launched on change.org by Mohbad’s fans had garnered over 200,000 signatures.
It will be recalled that before his death, singer, Mohbad had alleged threats to his life, as well as malicious damage of property and oppression by Marlian Music record label owner, Naira Marley and his friend Sam Larry, post his controversial split from the label about a year ago.
Meanwhile, celebrities have begun to speak out since the death of the artiste, who left behind a wife and a 24-month months old child.
He said that some music executives have vowed that artistes who left their record label will never gain the spotlight, while some force their signees into illicit lifestyles.
“In life, we win some and lose some. Record label owners (in fact, senior colleagues in the entertainment business) must know when to let go. “I am leaving” shouldn’t be a death sentence. Don’t make yourself the alpha and omega over anybody whose talent you were not the giver.
“Some of you have sworn that talents that left you will never rise. You block them from radio, TV and shows. You call the shots because you are mini gods. Nobody fit beg you. Ok o.
“In your gatherings, anyone who can’t smoke or drink is not man enough. Drugs everywhere. The young ones must blend in. people who have no business in entertainment are in control of young destinies because of cultism.
“Don’t kill another man to live because everybody will go one way or another. Your wealth isn’t a tool to buy another man’s life,” wrote the comedian on his X page.
Meantime, On Air Personality, Chinedu Ani Emmaneul, aka Nedu has described the Nigerian music industry a dark one.
The artiste and presenter who has been in the music industry for the past 13 years said despite the real hunger for fame and wealth by artistes in the industry, it barely lasts more than two years. few, he said has the grace to enjoy decades of fame, to become legends.
It’s only when you are popular that people will come around you. But you see the one wey nobody go ever forget you na Rest In Peace (RIP), Including those who forgot to post your pictures on your birthday will never forget to post it for RIP.
“Now see our wonderful brother Mohbad. Did you know that the EP he dropped, and nobody downloaded, but after his death, the song has become top three on Naija Apple Play. May God rest his soul,” he concluded
