Following the tragic death of Nigerian artist Mohbad, Daniel Regha has drawn attention to the lack of support from celebrities in advocating for him.
Despite recent controversies surrounding Mohbad’s passing, Regha highlights the preference for industry connections over humanity among fellow artists, suggesting that mere condolence messages are seen as sufficient validation.
“Have celebs started advocating for Mohbad now? No; Even after all the recent discoveries. Cos they still choose industry connections over humanity, & believe that posting a condolence message is enough validation.”
One particularly disturbing controversy arose when a video went viral showing Naira Marley’s aide, Sam Larry, harassing Mohbad prior to his death. The distressing footage depicted Mohbad appearing distressed and uncomfortable, raising serious concerns among fans and the public.
Additionally, videos surfaced showing Mohbad with visible injuries following an altercation with Naira Marley’s aide, further adding to the already murky circumstances surrounding his death. These visuals sparked outrage and reignited demands for clarity and justice.
Despite receiving condolence messages from various celebrities in the entertainment industry, Daniel Regha’s observation stands: prominent artists have noticeably failed to advocate for Mohbad’s death.
The silence surrounding the circumstances of Mohbad’s passing and the associated controversies raises questions about the responsibilities and roles of celebrities during such difficult times.
While investigations must proceed diligently and responsibly, expressions of support and solidarity can offer much-needed comfort to the grieving family and concerned fans.
Daniel Regha’s statement emphasizes that the entertainment industry, with its influential platform, has the potential to amplify the voices of those seeking justice and answers.
