Mohbad: Radio Stations Ban Naira Marley’s Songs  

Splash FM 105.5 Ibadan, Oyo State and Fresh FM 106.9 FM, Ado in Ekiti State have banned airplay of songs by Azeez Fashola, popularly known as Naira Marley, till further notice.

This follows the criticism surrounding Marley, following the death of his former signee, Ilerioluwa Oladimeji, popularly known as MohBad.

Both stations disclosed this via social media.

According to an instagram post (@freshfm1069adoekiti) signed by Fresh FM’s Head of production and Music Content, Oluwaseunfunmi Williams on Tuesday, the station wrote:

“Following the public outcry from the general public trialing the death of Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba (Mohbad), the alleged victimisation from different videos going viral and the involvement of members of his previous record label (Marlian records), fresh 106.9 fm has suspended the airplay of all songs and contents under the banner of Marlian Records.”

On Monday, Splash FM 105.5 Ibadan, disclosed via X that Marley’s songs have been placed on “Not to Be Broadcast” on the radio frequency by the station’s management.
