Mohbad Quits Marlian music label over violent attacks, non payment of royalties for 3 years

Ace Nigerian musician Promise Aloba Oladime aka Mohbad, has sent a notice of contract termination to his label boss Naira Marley over violent attacks and other issues.

In the letter addressed to the Marlian boss by Mohbad’s lawyers, the label boss was accused of orchestrating and carrying out the violent physical attacks himself. He has also accused of withholding Mohbad’s royalties for over 3 years.

Recall Dockaysworld reported that Mohad cried out some weeks ago, claiming that Naira Marley’s boys had beaten him up for wanting a change of manager.

Mohbad has now demanded that the logs and records of the digital sales of all his songs be released and that Naira pay his owed sum within one week.

The letter reads:
