Nigerian actress Iyabo Ojo has responded to singer Naira Marley, who recently shared their old conversations online. In a now-deleted post, Iyabo Ojo addressed the situation, clarifying the nature of their interactions. She explained that she had supported several artists, including Naira Marley, by promoting their music and inviting them to her events.
“I want to address the recent sharing of our old chats by Naira Marley. As a TikTok influencer, I’ve supported many artists, including Naira Marley, by promoting their songs. In 2020, I promoted his song after his team reached out to me through my son Festus,” she explained.
Iyabo Ojo also took the opportunity to set the record straight, stating that, despite any misconceptions, she does not believe Naira Marley is responsible for any harm.
However, when disturbing videos and petitions alleged that Sam Larry, Naira Marley’s friend, bullied Mohbad, a young artist who tragically lost his life, I questioned Naira Marley’s inaction. I never accused him of killing Mohbad, but the evidence suggests Mohbad’s life was threatened.
My issue with Naira Marley stems from his failure to intervene in Mohbad’s bullying. Furthermore, I’ve been made aware of allegations regarding Naira Marley’s involvement in other disturbing incidents, which will be addressed in court if necessary.
I won’t turn a blind eye to injustice, even if it involves someone I’m close to. I interact with many celebrities via DM, including Vice Versa, and I won’t hesitate to speak out against injustice, regardless of our past interactions. Naira Marley, you were mistaken if you thought I’d stay silent.
