In his words, “I’m just trying to ask, am I a bad boy? I don’t really mean it from my mind. So I don’t know, these people have been hating on me. They have been doing bad things to me, I went mad because of this issue, now they are trying to kill me.”
The circumstances surrounding Mohbad’s tragic passing remain unclear, and Naira Marley has hinted that more information will be revealed in due time.
