Early Life
The musician known as Mohbad, born Oladimeji Ilerioluwa, hails from the Yoruba land of Lagos State and was raised with the traditional values of his culture.
His parents instilled a strong Christian faith and morals in him from a young age, which would later influence his life and music. Even as a child, Mohbad was drawn to social media, where he began to share his unique voice and talent with the world.
From a young age, education was a priority for Mohbad and his parents, who instilled a love of learning in him from his primary school days to his graduation from high school in Lagos. His parents believed in the importance of a quality education, which would shape Mohbad’s future and allow him to achieve his dreams.
With their support and encouragement, he was able to reach his full potential and pursue his passion for music.
Career
The roots of Mohbad’s musical journey began in his school days, where he nurtured his creativity and passion for rap music. With hard work and perseverance, he established his stage name, Mohbad, in 2016, and his journey began in earnest. In 2019, he signed with Marlian Records and released his first EP, “Light EP,” to critical acclaim.
His breakout single “Ponmo,” released in 2020 and featuring Naira Marley and Lil Kesh, established him as a force to be reckoned with in the Nigerian music scene.
In two years, he made a standout by being nominated for the Beatz Award five consecutive times.
In accolades for his achievement, his song was updated on Audiomack’s top 21 afrobeat artists in 2021. A year later, his song ” Peace ” listed top in the TurnTable Charts top 50 and was recorded in the top 100 in 2022.
Personal Life
Mohbad, whose rise to fame had been on a meteoric trajectory, was entangled in a web of controversies that cast a shadow over his career. The turning point came when the Nigerian Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) unearthed illicit substances, including MDMA and Cannabis, in their residence in the upscale area of Lekki, Lagos, in February 2022. This startling discovery resulted in Mohbad’s arrest, sending shockwaves through the music industry and his fanbase.
Eyewitnesses came forward with accounts suggesting that the NDLEA’s entry into the musician’s home was not a polite visit but rather an aggressive raid, accompanied by a legal warrant, during the early hours of a Thursday morning. The NDLEA, defending their actions, deemed the operation a success and revealed their findings of a significant quantity of Molly and Cannabis in the residential premises linked to Naira Marley, located in Idado estate.
Following his release from custody, Mohbad decided to cut ties with Naira Marley’s crew after being a part of it for two years. This separation was fraught with controversy, heated arguments, and even incidents of violence between the two parties.
Then, tragedy struck the Nigerian music industry on September 12, 2023, as the talented Mohbad met an untimely demise. Speculation and curiosity loomed large as the industry and fans sought answers to the perplexing question of what had led to the premature death of this young and promising musician.
Amidst a cloud of uncertainty and speculation, the tragic demise of the young Nigerian musician Imole, known to the world as Mohbad, has sent shockwaves through the music industry and the hearts of his fans. The circumstances surrounding his untimely death remain shrouded in mystery, with no concrete confirmation.
The grim incident is believed to have transpired in the vicinity of Ikorodu shortly after Mohbad’s performance at a show, which tragically turned out to be his final one. It is rumored that he was struck by a mysterious charm, though the authenticity of this claim is yet to be substantiated by any official sources. The lack of concrete details has left both the public and his ardent supporters in a state of bewilderment, eagerly awaiting any updates or official statements that may shed Light on the actual events leading to his demise.
Adding a layer of complexity to the already puzzling circumstances, speculations and accusations have surfaced on social media, implicating Mohbad’s former record label boss, Naira Marley, in his tragic death. These allegations stem from a tumultuous past between the two artists, with rumors circulating that their bitter feud may have played a role in this unfortunate incident. However, it is imperative to note that these claims remain unverified and should be treated with caution until concrete evidence emerges.
Amid this tragedy, a poignant detail emerges from Mohbad’s personal life. He had recently celebrated the arrival of a baby boy with his long-time girlfriend. The infant, aptly named Light, also bears the meaning of Imole, which was Mohbad’s moniker. At the time of his heartbreaking passing, baby Light was just five months old, a poignant reminder of the joy and potential that was tragically cut short.
