• 0:39
  episode because today's episode I have been trying to stay out
• 0:43
  of this topic, but I think it's not going away anytime soon.
• 0:48
  And the topic I am going to be talking about is the passing of
• 0:52
  Nigerian singer rapper Mobad. It's been controversial since.
• 0:59
  I mean this topic has been on the social media space for over
• 1:03
  a year now, since last year actually when Mobad did a video
• 1:08
  talking about how the record label Malayans or Mali group
• 1:13
  wanted to kind of end his life basically.
• 1:19
  So let me just take you Mobile is a Nigerian artist, Afrobeat.
• 1:23
  He started making music online, doing, you know, short videos,
• 1:28
  releasing on social media, and then he got signed to Malian
• 1:32
  Records. Now Malian Records is owned by
• 1:35
  Naira Marley, another rapper, and he has been playing with a
• 1:40
  lot of controversies right from when he was 19.
• 1:44
  He lived in the UK in Peckham actually.
• 1:46
  And then there was an assault of a lady in a boss on a on a boss
• 1:52
  and the police actually released statements looking for him.
• 1:57
  So for some reason he got released.
• 2:01
  I mean he was 19 at that point, so I don't think he would do any
• 2:04
  serious gaol time. So he came back to Nigeria and
• 2:07
  started singing. He got signed by Olamide or he
• 2:13
  Olamide featured him in a song and he blew up.
• 2:17
  Now we all know Sophie, so peace, literally glorifying
• 2:23
  masturbation and a whole lot of people at that point in time
• 2:28
  said this guy is a bad influence, but he was already
• 2:31
  with a lot of people liked him. A lot of people like he was, he
• 2:37
  Malians were like his people. People were calling themselves
• 2:41
  Malians, even people's parents, basically not even just Gen ZA.
• 2:47
  Lot of people, we are associating themselves with
• 2:49
  Naira Mali and the Malian group now they were known for smoking.
• 2:54
  Like normally he is somebody that is he, he is just bad news
• 3:00
  altogether. And he was always online smoking
• 3:04
  one thing or the other, glorifying, you know, drug abuse
• 3:10
  and all that. Now being a young record label
• 3:13
  owner, Nara Mali signed younger artists, one of them being more
• 3:18
  bad. Now Mobile started his career
• 3:20
  just singing, putting his videos online on social media and
• 3:24
  people vibing to his song. He is very or he was very
• 3:27
  talented and people loved because his lyrics, he was
• 3:32
  somebody that talked about his situation in lyrics.
• 3:34
  He's not just talking about boobs and ass and all those kind
• 3:37
  of things. He was talking about his lived
• 3:40
  experiences or what he was going through at that time and for
• 3:45
  some reason his lyrics is always really kind of Moody, sad from
• 3:50
  what we know he came from, his parents are separated basically
• 3:56
  and then his dad married somebody else.
• 4:00
  So from that front he has always experienced kind of challenging
• 4:06
  upbringing because according to the story, the second wife of
• 4:10
  the dad or the girlfriend of the dad was not always, you know,
• 4:14
  being fed to him or you know, you know how the situation is
• 4:18
  when you when your dad marry somebody else and all that.
• 4:21
  So he got signed to normally record, released an album, and
• 4:25
  the album was doing well. There were so many songs from
• 4:28
  the album that went viral that people were vibing into that
• 4:31
  didn't even know it was more bad that sang the song.
• 4:34
  But Genz, particularly people in Lagos, or he could do, they were
• 4:39
  like his biggest fans and all that.
• 4:41
  Now last year something happened and then Mobile decided to leave
• 4:48
  Malayan record for some reason. According to what is going on
• 4:52
  online right now, He said he got no support from Nara Mali.
• 4:58
  He recorded the song. He uses money to record songs,
• 5:02
  pay for video and Naira Marley will not even repost on his
• 5:06
  page. So he was like, OK, why am I
• 5:08
  doing all these things when I'm doing all these things by myself
• 5:11
  And this guy is not even helping in any way?
• 5:14
  So why am I even signed to him? I think that was where the whole
• 5:19
  thing started. He decided to leave Malan record
• 5:22
  at that point, Nara Mali and his manager Sam Larry.
• 5:29
  They said some Larry was not happy about it because according
• 5:33
  to them they made him who he is. But remember, before then he was
• 5:38
  already an Internet sensation. He was already, you know,
• 5:42
  singing, doing little videos, posting online.
• 5:45
  But he was not signed to a label.
• 5:47
  So when he left Malian records, he actually released an album
• 5:53
  and he was doing well. But then, according to the
• 5:56
  story, Naira Marley, seeing that this guy is doing everything
• 5:59
  without us, he started blacklisting.
• 6:02
  More bad telling, producers telling show promoters want to
• 6:07
  work with him. So that's kind of created a kind
• 6:12
  of depressing period for more bad because even people he
• 6:17
  thought were his friends were no longer picking his call so he
• 6:21
  fell into depression and Malian records, especially some Larry,
• 6:27
  we're just harassing this young man.
• 6:29
  This guy is 27 years old, you know, with a wife and son.
• 6:35
  People were just from the record, were harassing him.
• 6:37
  He actually did a video earlier this year was a little last year
• 6:42
  where he went live. He went to Malaya.
• 6:45
  When he left, actually left Nara Malley's house.
• 6:49
  He went live. They were beating him up.
• 6:52
  He was saying that if anything happens to him, they should hold
• 6:56
  Naira Mali or Malian records responsible for his demise or
• 7:01
  anything like that. When all those things was going
• 7:04
  on, he was posting online. I think his team reached out to
• 7:07
  just lover to give discover the details because he actually
• 7:10
  filed a police report that was not going anywhere because Sam
• 7:15
  Larry and Naira Mali they are close to the now president
• 7:21
  Tinubu Lagos State government decided colluding with the Drug
• 7:25
  Enforcement Agency. It was just like they had
• 7:29
  everybody kind of India camp basically.
• 7:33
  So this guy was not getting any justice.
• 7:35
  He reached out to discover to say help me, I'm trying to cry
• 7:38
  out. I'm trying to get these people
• 7:40
  to leave me alone. It is not working.
• 7:42
  I remember then just lover released kind of a statement
• 7:45
  warning Naira Marley to leave Mobile Delone because if
• 7:48
  anything happens to him, he will be held responsible.
• 7:52
  At that point, according to the story, Naira Mali colluded with
• 7:58
  the NDL E the arrested him. Within those the, you know,
• 8:05
  arrests the station. According to Mobad he was hit
• 8:09
  with a gun and given substances to drink.
• 8:13
  So according to the story because there were videos online
• 8:17
  where he was saying all these things, he said since he came
• 8:20
  out of that place he has been, he has not been himself.
• 8:23
  He has been having stomach pain. He has been having memory loss.
• 8:27
  Because you know when you were being hit with a gun and you're
• 8:30
  like this guy's life just went down hill.
• 8:35
  From that point, even the wife cried out that he, he has never
• 8:39
  been happy, his son six months old or five months old.
• 8:44
  And he, she said he almost committed suicide.
• 8:49
  There was one day they were just sitting down and he just wanted
• 8:52
  to jump out of the window because of what Malayan record
• 8:57
  or Naira Mali and Sam Larry were doing to him.
• 9:01
  So this is somebody that was oppressed, this is somebody that
• 9:05
  was harassed, this is somebody that was physically assaulted.
• 9:11
  Just because he left a record label.
• 9:14
  Now when he eventually passed, people are now thinking, OK,
• 9:20
  there has to be some kind of justice.
• 9:22
  There has to be people being questioned regarding what
• 9:27
  happened. Now we're just trying to figure
• 9:30
  out what is going on. Nirmali people, a lot of people
• 9:34
  were fingering my Naira Mali and Sam Larry, asking the police to
• 9:39
  question them. Now the police PPRO came out and
• 9:42
  said, Oh my God, they are trying to do their job.
• 9:45
  They said that, yes, that Mobile filed the petition, but when he
• 9:49
  was invited to the station, he did not show up.
• 9:52
  Now this whole thing has been like, it's it's been ridiculous
• 9:56
  because you look at this whole thing, you could see this young
• 9:59
  man physically, you know, asking for help.
• 10:03
  Now this whole thing is just ridiculous like looking at the
• 10:08
  whole story and then he died and within a day the the father
• 10:15
  buried him and then the the family of more bad Saudi
• 10:20
  accusing the wife of trying to steal properties trying like
• 10:26
  it's you just look at it is so sensational that everything you
• 10:33
  want to think of is in this story like physical abuse,
• 10:37
  mental abuse psychological abuse family abusing the wife drug
• 10:44
  abuse everything you would need to make a story sensational was
• 10:49
  part of this story. Now the wife came out and said
• 10:52
  she did not take anything in fact the wives other sister
• 10:56
  granted an interview and said my sister did not have any because
• 10:59
  the the the mobile's dad was kind of accusing the wife's mom
• 11:06
  of collecting everything that Mubarak had that he never
• 11:11
  received anything. Murbad never gave him as much as
• 11:14
  you know 500 like he like your child just pass.
• 11:21
  Are you buried him in a very controversial circumstances.
• 11:25
  You buried him which has an autopsy.
• 11:27
  You like this man. People are actually thinking OK
• 11:31
  you know something you must know something about this whole
• 11:34
  thing. People are now saying OK why are
• 11:35
  you not pointing the fingers to your in-laws because there's
• 11:39
  something you're not saying. Now this isn't that minding our
• 11:42
  business thinking, OK, this is going to be dying down soon.
• 11:46
  Cameo lawyer came out online and said she knows why he was buried
• 11:53
  in a hurry. According to her, Mobile is a
• 11:56
  cultist like listen, he can't be like listen, Cammy is is a
• 12:02
  different breed, you know? She said the reason why that a
• 12:06
  family member actually reached out to her and said that the
• 12:09
  reason why he was buried in a hurry was because after his
• 12:12
  death there were still things moving in his body like his
• 12:16
  snake moving in his body. And for them to prevent that
• 12:20
  snake coming out or that thing coming out of his body, they had
• 12:24
  to bury him in a hurry. And they don't want to cut him
• 12:28
  open and be, you know, this story.
• 12:34
  This is a young, this is a 27 years old young man and the
• 12:40
  family are releasing stuff about him.
• 12:43
  The the he is just sensational. But somebody lost their life.
• 12:53
  Somebody's child would never get to see their father again.
• 12:58
  And we have a widow in the mix too.
• 13:02
  It is very emotional when you look at the whole circumstances
• 13:08
  leading to his death and everything going on even after
• 13:12
  his death from his father, from his family, from people actually
• 13:21
  is the online people now that are actually seeking justice
• 13:24
  because the father is saying that his son died of natural.
• 13:29
  The father needs to be arrested like you know the circumstances
• 13:34
  surrounding the the passing of your son.
• 13:36
  But this man is coming out to say ohh all those things are
• 13:40
  just, you know, his son is this, this is just sad in every way
• 13:48
  you want to look at it. Now the lessons here is if
• 13:54
  you're a young person, if you're a young talent, if you have what
• 13:59
  it takes because listen, if you have something, you definitely
• 14:03
  know you have something. And if somebody is reaching out
• 14:07
  to you to manage your to is because they have seen something
• 14:12
  in you. I understand.
• 14:14
  That's OK. Some people just want fame they
• 14:17
  don't want at all cost. They don't want to think about
• 14:21
  the consequences of that fame, or the repercussion or what a
• 14:29
  means to actually sign to a record label, or what it means
• 14:33
  to actually sign to a record label to a a character like the
• 14:38
  Malians. These are controversial people
• 14:41
  who were openly abusing drugs, talking like these people.
• 14:48
  Now we're just waiting for the police to carry out an
• 14:51
  investigation. There has been petition signed
• 14:55
  against Malian records to close, like to cancel them.
• 14:59
  Basically a producer Samklef has been going on about it, talking
• 15:03
  about how these people need to be stopped, how you know, the
• 15:07
  the Malians need to be boycotted, cancelled and all
• 15:11
  that. But the reality is, if you look
• 15:14
  at the music industry or the entertainment industry, there's
• 15:17
  so much Godfather Prism, there's so much you know who know who in
• 15:23
  this whole thing. But I think we have all been
• 15:28
  given the gifts of the Internet, social media sometimes.
• 15:33
  Yes, being signed to a record label or being signed to an
• 15:37
  entertaining PR, whatever gets you to your destination quicker,
• 15:42
  but at what cost? A whole lot of people now are
• 15:47
  making skits, doing their own thing without having to go
• 15:51
  through he channel. I think everybody needs to sit
• 15:57
  down and think about, you know, what the entertainment industry
• 16:01
  actually entails, how does it affect people mentally?
• 16:05
  I think we just have to start thinking about mental health,
• 16:10
  how we handle fame, because a whole lot of people want fame.
• 16:15
  But do you understand the consequences of that this young
• 16:21
  man? Yes, he was very famous, but
• 16:25
  obviously he he did not kind of translate into monetary reward.
• 16:34
  Yes, he was making money for the family were looking at him like
• 16:39
  ohh, you should be bringing money because everything that
• 16:42
  dad was saying was basically about money.
• 16:45
  About money you just lost your son that you buried without
• 16:49
  even. Anyway this whole story is still
• 16:53
  developing. We're waiting to see what the
• 16:56
  police has to say about this whole thing.
• 16:59
  If they are going to carry out investigation, if they're going
• 17:01
  to invite Naira Mali and some Larry to the police station for
• 17:06
  questioning. Nara Mali has released his own
• 17:09
  questionnaires talking about OK what happened to the guy like
• 17:13
  gaslighting to the highest level.
• 17:17
  But we hope that people responsible, he may not be
• 17:21
  directly responsible, like he may not have pulled the trigger,
• 17:25
  but he's an accomplice for you to be harassing this young man.
• 17:30
  You, you, you, you, you have your how much is he making?
• 17:35
  But just to show that superiority people, you are just
• 17:39
  harassing him. He needs to be questioned,
• 17:42
  regardless of whether he is affiliated to Tinubu Fashola.
• 17:46
  Whatever this young man needs to.
• 17:51
  I saw some questions. We are all sitting down waiting
• 17:54
  for the outcome of this whole thing.
• 17:57
  There has been kind of protest, peaceful protest that is being
• 18:02
  organised, I think, on the 20th. And yes, I will keep you all
• 18:06
  posted and we pray that the soul of Mobile rest in peace and that
• 18:10
  his wife, you know, have the fortitude to bear the loss.
• 18:14
  We pray for his young child or their young child, for that
• 18:19
  young man to kind of grow and have a normal life because this
• 18:25
  whole thing surrounding the passing of his dad is something
• 18:29
  that will remain on the Internet forever.
• 18:32
  Anyway, that's a lot to say for today.
• 18:34
