Controversy Surrounding Naira Marley and the Late Mohbad: A Spotlight on VeryDarkMan’s Claims.
In the ever-evolving landscape of social media activism, few figures have sparked as much discussion as VeryDarkMan. Recently, he made sensational allegations regarding the late rapper Mohbad and his former label boss, Naira Marley, asserting that Marley admitted to owing Mohbad a significant undisclosed sum of money prior to the artist’s tragic death in September 2023.
Mohbad’s demise has been shrouded in controversy, especially following his departure from Marlian Music. The allegations suggest a failure by the record label to honor contractual obligations, prompting many to question the circumstances surrounding Mohbad’s passing. Notably, Naira Marley and his associate, Sam Larry, were seen in a viral video engaging in troubling behavior towards the late artist, leading to accusations of their involvement in his untimely death.
On October 6, 2023, both Marley and Larry were arraigned and remanded based on these accusations. However, they subsequently pleaded not guilty and were granted bail. Despite their legal status, a growing faction of fans has chosen to boycott Naira Marley’s music and voice their dissent on social media platforms.
Ahead of Mohbad’s posthumous birthday, VeryDarkMan shared in a video that he had approached Naira Marley with an opportunity to publicly clear his name. He claims that Marley acknowledged the financial dispute between them and attributed the crux of their issues to Mohbad’s desire to change the management structure established by the record label.
VeryDarkMan’s assertions raise significant questions about transparency and accountability within the music industry, especially regarding artist-label relationships. As this narrative unfolds, the call for justice and clarity for Mohbad remains at the forefront, with many eagerly awaiting further responses from those involved.

The Nigerian film industry is in mourning following the death of Kayode Peters, a renowned filmmaker and producer. The news was announced by his family on his official Instagram page, stating that he passed away peacefully on the morning of Saturday, June 28, 2025, in Toronto, Canada, after a long illness.
Peters, fondly known as KP, was celebrated for his contributions as a filmmaker, actor, and producer. He was known for his role as Koko in the popular sitcoms “Twilight Zone” and “Flatmates” in the early 2000s. His work also extended to stage plays and sitcoms like “Extended Family” and “Being Farouk,” significantly impacting Nigeria’s contemporary theatre and television landscape.
He is survived by his wife, Alexander, and their children. Funeral arrangements are underway, and further details will be shared by the family in due course. The industry and fans alike will deeply miss his warmth, generosity, and contributions to Nollywood.
Popular Nigerian skit maker, Carter Efe, has reportedly lost access to his Instagram and TikTok accounts. This development follows recent criticism leveled against Afrobeat artist Wizkid during a TikTok live stream.
Efe’s comments, in which he accused Wizkid of pride, triggered a backlash from Wizkid’s fanbase, known as Wizkid FC. Subsequently, Efe claimed on X (formerly Twitter) that his Instagram account, boasting 1.8 million followers, was taken down by Wizkid FC. He later released an apology video stating that his TikTok account had also been blocked.
Efe has appealed to Wizkid and Wizkid FC for forgiveness and the restoration of his accounts.
Gabriel Oche Amanyi, known as Terry G, has asserted his significant contribution to the Nigerian music landscape. The “Akpoko Master,” pioneer of the “Street-hop” movement in the 2010s, stated that his influence is undeniable when discussing cultural impact within the Nigerian music industry.
His comments, made via social media on Wednesday, arrive amidst ongoing discussions regarding impact and legacies, spurred by the recent exchange between Odumodublvck and Blaqbonez.
In his statement on X, Terry G declared, “You can’t talk about cultural impact in Nigeria without talking about Terry G. I am the culture!” This pronouncement underscores his belief in his lasting effect on the evolution of Nigerian music.
