Pastor Tunde Bakare’s remarks about the late Nigerian singer, Mohbad, have sparked online reactions.

The clergyman, delivering a sermon at a church event in Leicester, United Kingdom on Sunday, disclosed how Mohbad faced the consequences of his actions during his lifetime. He highlighted that Mohbad’s choice of stage name, ‘Mohbad’, which conveys a negative message, had a significant impact on him.

Additionally, Pastor Tunde mentioned that Mohbad’s association with certain friends further aggravated the situation, ultimately leading to his untimely demise.

While Pastor Tunde reiterated that Mohbad faced the outcomes of his actions, he clarified that he does not hold the singer solely responsible for his own death.

“My wife and I listened to a tape last night on MohBad. How many of you know MohBad? The Nigerian artiste who died at 27? MohBad.

When he was drinking and smoking and associating with evil men, he did not know that the harvest would come so soon and that he would soon be cut down at the prime of youth.

“I am not blaming him, I am just telling you. Is Mohbad a good name? Moh Bad”.
