Drama Reloaded: Activist Alleges Iyabo Ojo Pleaded With Naira Marley Over Mohbad Scandal

Just when the flames around the Mohbad saga seemed to flicker, activist and blogger Tosin Silverdam tossed in another matchstick — and boom, we’re back to a full-blown inferno. According to Silverdam, Nollywood actress and activist Iyabo Ojo — who was one of the loudest voices demanding justice for Mohbad — allegedly went behind closed doors to beg Naira Marley to forgive the public backlash and “move on” from the accusations. Let that sink in. The same Iyabo Ojo who organized protests, cried out for investigations, and called out Marlian Music? Now allegedly asking Naira Marley to squash the beef and forgive? The internet is not having it. Naira Marley wasted no time. In a shocking twist, he responded with screenshots, voice notes, and a calm-but-loaded tone that made it clear he wasn’t about to let this slide. He posted private messages allegedly from Iyabo, showing what appeared to be her asking him to consider peace — and subtly hinting that keeping the fight alive may not be in anyone’s best interest. Now, social media is exploding. Twitter (or X) is torn. On one side are those who feel Iyabo did what any mature person would do — try to deescalate. On the other side are those calling it “betrayal,” accusing her of switching sides now that the dust is settling. “Justice shouldn’t come with a DM apology,” one tweet read. Another user posted, “So it was performative outrage? Iyabo you get explaining to do o.” Iyabo Ojo, known for being unfiltered, hasn’t responded publicly to the allegations — yet. But knowing her, it’s only a matter of time before she grabs her phone and goes live with her side of the story. Meanwhile, Naira Marley still faces scrutiny from the public. Despite never being officially charged in connection to Mohbad’s tragic death, many fans blame him for allegedly enabling a toxic work environment, citing numerous online receipts and videos. This latest twist is making everyone rethink their stance. Was Iyabo trying to make peace? Or is this just another layer of industry politics? Either way, it’s giving season finale vibes, and Nigeria is watching closely. Stay tuned — this one’s not over.
