“Show Promoters Don’t Want to Pick Me Up for Shows Because I Left a Label”: Late Nigerian Singer Mohbad’s Interview Goes Viral

Mohbad claimed in an old video that show promoters refused to book him because he left his record label.

The video surfaced online after Mohbad’s death in February 2023. In the video, Mohbad said that his former label, Marlian Music, told show promoters that he was not mentally stable enough to work. As a result, most promoters refused to book him.

Mohbad’s claim has not been independently verified. However, it is possible that his former label did indeed interfere with his ability to get bookings. This is a serious allegation, and it is important to get to the bottom of it.

If Mohbad’s claim is true, it would be a major black eye for the Nigerian music industry. It would show that record labels are willing to sabotage the careers of their own artists in order to protect their own interests.

It is also important to note that Mohbad was not the only artist who has made this claim. Other artists have said that their former labels have prevented them from getting bookings, or have even sabotaged their careers altogether.

This is a serious problem that needs to be addressed. The Nigerian music industry needs to create a more level playing field for all artists, regardless of their record label affiliation.
