INFORMATION NIGERIA learnt that the speculation stormed the internet following some allegations that Mohbad’s former boss, Naira Marley, had on several occasions instigated Sam Larry and others to intimidate and assault the deceased for exiting Marlians Records.

However, Sam Larry and Naira Marley, had been attacked on social media after a video where Sam Larry and some of his associates were seen harassing Mohbad surfaced online.

The late 27-year-old singer and Zlatan Ibile in the video were on set for a music video when Sam Larry invaded the scene with some boys targeting Mohbad who ran away in fear.

Zlatan, however, tried to save the situation as he stood up to Larry and his allies to forestall any attack or bullying on Mohbad.

The video has seen Nigerians reporting the Instagram page of Sam Larry and Naira Marly for allegedly bullying and threatening the late singer.

Larry has since deactivated his Instagram account following the torrents of cyber attacks received since the video emerged.
