Mohbad’s 97% Creative Force Of Marlian Music Exposed By Kemi Olunloyo
Unraveling the Financial and Creative Dynamics
In recent developments, investigative journalist Kemi Olunloyo has brought to light some startling revelations about the late Nigerian singer, Mohbad. According to Olunloyo, Mohbad, whose real name is Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, was not just a singer but the backbone of Marlian Music. She alleges that he penned nearly 97% of the label’s songs, making him the primary creative force behind the music label.
This revelation has sparked discussions about the financial dynamics of the music industry. Olunloyo disclosed that Mohbad had an impressive net worth, estimated to be around N700 million (approximately $690,000). However, the financial relationship between Mohbad and Naira Marley, the head of Marlian Music, appears to have been strained. Olunloyo’s findings suggest that Naira Marley owed Mohbad a staggering N300 million in song royalties. This debt, combined with alleged withholding of royalties and streaming revenues, reportedly led to tensions between the two artists.
The situation becomes even more complex when considering the potential legal battles that might ensue. Olunloyo has suggested that a court-appointed probate lawyer should oversee Mohbad’s music assets, especially if Naira Marley agrees to release the owed funds. This move could lead to a significant legal showdown.
In addition to the financial disputes, Olunloyo has also touched upon personal aspects of Mohbad’s life. She has proposed a DNA test for Mohbad’s son to confirm paternity and has recommended the creation of a trust fund for the child’s benefit. Expressing concerns about Mohbad’s family, Olunloyo believes that the artist’s assets, particularly the revenues from his final project “BLESSED,” should be managed by his Imolenization team in a trust fund.
Drawing from her vast experience in the music industry, Olunloyo has cautioned upcoming artists to be vigilant when entering record deals. She highlighted the importance of understanding contract terms and used Mohbad’s situation as a warning for others. Drawing parallels with Davido’s early career, she emphasized the significance of having a clear understanding of contractual obligations.
The tragic demise of Mohbad has left many questions unanswered. While the music world mourns the loss of a talented artist, the controversies surrounding his legacy continue to unravel. As the industry grapples with these revelations, it serves as a reminder of the complexities and challenges artists face in their journey to stardom.
