Musical artiste, Naira Marley has penned an emotional note, addressing the events surrounding Mohbad’s death and the subsequent accusations against him.
In a message he shared on his X page, the Marlian Record leader expressed shock at the loud silence and the fact that Mohbad, someone he considered a brother and protected, left the world with his name (Naira Marley) tarnished.
Despite acknowledging that he and his label, Marlian Records, aren’t perfect and have made mistakes, Naira Marley emphasised that they never declared war on Mohbad but made amends.
Naira Marley recounted how, despite making peace with Mohbad, he was still accused and torn apart by those who knew the truth.
He wrote: “I never thought silence could be so loud. I never thought someone I called my brother, someone I protected, would leave this world with my name in his shadow. I have carried this weight, this pain, this shame that was never mine to bear. We, as Marlians, were not perfect. We had to grow, we had to adapt.
“Mistakes were made, but they were business wars. I made peace with Mohbad. We understood each other beyond the noise, beyond the misunderstandings. And you know this”.
“Yet when he took his last breath in you alls arms, you looked at the world and pointed at me. You let them tear me apart. You let them call me a killer while you sat there, knowing the truth. Now, you tell the story.
“I welcomed you all into my home. I gave you my trust. And yet, my brother is gone, still not buried, and that is your fault. Telling the truth from the beginning would have given him the rest he deserves. Regardless, I will always be there for him.
“You never thought I would survive. You never thought I would walk through the fire and face my people, maybe you hoped I would stay a fugitive. You thought I would run. Instead, I stood before the justice system, spent time in jail, and faced everything head-on while you changed the story, again and again”,
