In a shocking new twist to the ongoing saga surrounding the death of Nigerian singer Mohbad, controversial social media activist and online personality, VeryDarkMan (VDM), has made a jaw-dropping claim involving music executive Naira Marley, Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo, and her daughter Priscilla Ojo. During one of his explosive Instagram live sessions, VDM alleged that Iyabo Ojo is relentlessly pushing for Naira Marley’s downfall because, according to him, the Marlian Music boss once drugged and forcefully had his way with her daughter, Priscilla.
The claims, which have since sent shockwaves through social media and the entertainment industry, emerged as VDM continues his self-led investigation into the tragic and suspicious death of 27-year-old singer Mohbad, who was formerly signed to Naira Marley’s label. VDM, known for his polarizing takes and no-holds-barred approach to celebrity matters, stated that there’s more to Iyabo Ojo’s vocal activism in the “Justice for Mohbad” movement than meets the eye.
According to him, “Iyabo Ojo has a personal vendetta. She’s not fighting for justice because of Mohbad. She’s fighting because Naira Marley did something terrible to her daughter, Priscilla. He drugged her and forced himself on her. That’s the real truth she has refused to speak openly.” The statement has since gone viral, sparking outrage, disbelief, and heated debate across online platforms.
While Iyabo Ojo is yet to officially respond to VDM’s damning accusations, this is not the first time her name has been dragged into deeply controversial waters. The actress has been one of the loudest celebrity voices demanding justice for the late Mohbad, often using her platform to call out perceived negligence by authorities, and accusing Naira Marley and his close associates of playing a sinister role in the young artist’s torment before his untimely death.
With this latest revelation, many online observers are now questioning the motivation behind Iyabo’s crusade. Is it really about justice for Mohbad, or a deeply personal revenge masked as activism? While some fans are standing firmly behind the actress, insisting her outcry has always been pure and from a place of humanity, others are beginning to give credence to VDM’s allegations.
Naira Marley, who has faced widespread criticism and even legal issues following Mohbad’s death, has yet another stain on his image with these new allegations. It will be recalled that the rapper was detained last year in connection with Mohbad’s death after multiple videos surfaced showing the deceased complaining about being harassed and assaulted by people allegedly affiliated with Marlian Music. Though released on bail, Naira Marley has remained under a thick cloud of public suspicion, and these fresh claims are only likely to worsen his already fragile public perception.
Social media has been thrown into chaos since VDM’s statement. On Twitter (now X), hashtags like #JusticeForPriscilla, #NairaMarley, and #IyaboOjo have dominated the trends list, with fans, critics, and concerned Nigerians demanding answers. “If this is true, then Iyabo Ojo has every right to want Naira Marley behind bars. But she should come out and say it clearly. We’re tired of whispers,” one user posted. Another tweet read: “VDM has opened a can of worms. If Naira Marley truly did that to Priscilla, then the Justice for Mohbad case just became even darker and deeper.”
Amidst the chaos, calls are now growing for the Nigerian Police and other investigative bodies to probe this latest claim. Legal experts argue that if there’s even a shred of truth in VDM’s statement, the law enforcement authorities must immediately swing into action, not just to bring Naira Marley to justice if guilty, but also to determine if other victims may exist. Others, however, have criticized VDM for being reckless and possibly endangering an already fragile investigation with sensationalism and unverified claims.
Priscilla Ojo, who has so far remained silent about the matter, is yet to issue any public statement. The 23-year-old brand influencer and entrepreneur has built a fairly scandal-free reputation over the years, staying away from the type of controversies that plague many celebrity kids. Her Instagram page has remained active, though comments on her recent posts have been flooded with questions and concern from fans demanding clarity.
Naira Marley’s camp has also not released any official statement in response to the growing allegations. His last post on Instagram was over a week ago, and efforts to reach his team for comment have proved abortive. However, some of his loyal fans have dismissed VDM’s claims as “another attempt to smear his name,” accusing the social commentator of pursuing clout with every opportunity.
The situation has left many Nigerians torn between seeking truth and protecting reputations. If true, the allegations raise alarming concerns about the extent of abuse that may have gone unchecked within the entertainment industry. If false, then it marks yet another dangerous misuse of social media to destroy reputations and deepen personal feuds under the guise of public activism.
As VDM continues to push his “investigation” forward, questions remain unanswered: What evidence does he possess to back such serious claims? Why has Iyabo Ojo kept silent about something so heinous, if true? And most importantly, will Priscilla ever break her silence?
While the entertainment industry continues to grapple with the aftermath of Mohbad’s death and the controversies that have followed, this latest development adds another dark chapter to an already troubling narrative. In the coming days, the public will be watching closely for reactions, clarifications, and most importantly, accountability.
Until then, the storm rages on.
