One of the closest friends of late singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba aka Mohbad, Owodunni Ibrahim aka Primeboy, has threatened to take legal action against the late singer's mother, Abosede Adeyemo-Aloba, over alleged defamatory comments she made against him.


In a statement signed by his lawyer, Akinpelu Ogunbona, Primeboy said Mohbad’s mother granted an interview where she accused him of having an altercation with her son while he was alive.


“In the said interview, you alleged that our client always fought the late Mohbad and consistently complained about his neglect by the late Mohbad since the said late Mohbad rose to stardom. You also alleged that our client was advised to run away after the d£ath of the late Mohbad so as not to be suspected regarding the d£ath,” the statement read in part.


While describing her submission as a defamation of character,  the singer alleged that her actions were deliberate and that this has adversely affected the love he enjoys from his fans.


“Your actions are deliberate to injure and traduce the integrity of our client who is a rising star in the music industry and your allegations in the interview have greatly and negatively impacted the affection and love being enjoyed by our client from his fans and well-wishers around the world,” the statement added.


Primeboy asked Mohbad’s mother to retract her statement within seven days, threatening to take legal actions if she doesn't.


Mohbad died in controversial circumstances in September 2023.
