The Nigerian artist’s management confirmed the star’s death via X last night as music executive Ovie tweeted: “Confirmed. Mohbad is dead. Sad, sad day. R.I.P.”
Later, a post on MohBad’s Instagram added: “It is with great sadness that we confirm the passing of Promise Oladimeji Aloba PK/A Mohbad (Imole) today, the 12th of September, 2023. Mohbad was light until the very end, and as we mourn the loss of the brightness he carried, the family thanks you for your love and prayers, and asks that you continue to respect their privacy during this difficult time. Imole is finally at peace.”
