In the midst of the ongoing dispute between actress Iyabo Ojo and self-proclaimed activist Very Dark Man, Afrobeat musician Seun Kuti has publicly expressed his disapproval of actress Iyabo Ojo, claiming that she is using the unfortunate death of music artist Mohbad for political purposes.
Following the actress’s public criticism on June 30, 2024, Kuti utilized his Instagram livestream to share his perspective on the disagreement between them.
During his speech, he alleged that the actress was exploiting Mohbad’s death as a means to further her agenda against singer Naira Marley.
He said, “I don’t do personal things because I can’t stand it…You people politicised Mohbad’s death. I don’t believe that you politicised his death because you were trying to find justice for him, I believe that it’s just a movement against Naira Marley at the end of the day. Nobody can tell me otherwise, or anything other than that.”
Seun Kuti also expressed doubts about the accuracy of the government’s findings on the cause of Mohbad’s death, pointing out contradictory reports.
“Do you accept the government’s findings? I still found a report that stated that his cause of death was substance abuse. If you believe the government’s findings, then what are we doing here?.
Now, where is the ‘Justice for Mohbad’ movement? Where is that energy that you people used then? Because I feel that if you can use that energy against Naira Marley, you can use your influence to quench bad things in our society. But you people have an agenda!”
