Artiste Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Alabama, aka MohBad, is dead.

He died at the age of 27.

MohBad, who was formally signed under Marlian record, died on Tuesday.

This was announced on the ‘X’ handle of music executive, Ovie on Tuesday evening.

“Confirmed. MohBad is dead. Sad, sad day,” he tweeted.

YBNL CEO Olamide, who also reacted to the death, said: “Damn!”

In February last year, Mohbad raised the alarm over attempts on his life by suspected members of the Marlian group.

He said should anything untoward happens to him, Naira Marley and the crew members should be held responsible.

The singer raised the alarm on an Instagram live video hours after his release from National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) custody.

In the Instagram video, the singer speaking in his local dialect(Yoruba) mixed with English, said NDLEA arrested him with Zinoleesky and others but he was released.

He further said when he returned, members of the Marlian music tried to harm him.

He said: “I’m just trying to ask like am I a bad boy? I don’t really mean it from my mind. So I don’t know these people have been hating on me.

“They have been doing bad things on me, I went mad because of this issue, now they are trying to kill me. Everybody in the whole world please help me, if I die woh na Marlian music and Naira Marley kill me.

“Abeg if I die like this, God, please help me. Look at all these people sha my God will never fuck me up, never. I’m in Idado estate,” he said.

In another live video, Mohbad in a vehicle, said: “I’m going to the hospital right now, Oh my God. I’m fucked up by many people, I don’t trust anybody.”

He also attempted to commit suicide over the issue, according to Akinbiyi Abiola Ahmed, popularly known as Bella Shmurda.

He said, “There was a time, me and Mohbad were in an apartment and Mohbad was like he wanted to jump from the upstairs because of the issues he was having with his record label. We held him by the window. Mohbad had almost jumped, it was his girlfriend that entered the room and saw him sitting down at the window.”
