Popular Nigerian singer, Michael Adebayo Olayinka also known as Ruger has shared his thoughts with Nigerians on the sad demise of the late singer Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, known as Mohbad.
The “Ask About Me” crooner’s death prompted many suspicions, especially given his unclear history with Naira Marley’s Marlian Records.
Before his death, the late singer accused Marlian Records of stealing his music rights and owing him money.
Ruger suggested in an interview on the Afrobeats Podcast that fans may have affected Mohbad’s emotional state before his death.
According to the Asiwaju hitmaker, after Mohbad departed Marlian Records, many fans stopped buying his music.
The artist advised music fans to quit using his death for clout and let Mohbad rest.
He said “The fans added to it too because as soon as he left the label, I do not think people continued listening to him anymore. I feel like they were just attached to the fact that he was a Marlian.
“So did you guys love him for his music? So what did you love him for? The fans, the ones that are acting all aggressive, we are at fault too so let us just accept that.
“I wish the guy rest in peace. You guys should stop stressing the guy’s spirit.
