Why I didn’t tell people Mohbad was my son – Mother
Mother of late rising music star Mohbad has revealed why she distanced herself from her son despite his fame. According to the mother of the deceased singer, she stated that her son lived in fear due to bullying and physical assault.
Born on June 8, 1996 in Lagos, the singer died on September 12, 2023, in a controversial manner with fingers pointing at his record label, Marlian Music which is headed by popular singer, Naira Marley.
During an interview with TVC, Promise Aloba, the late singer’s mother said that during the lifetime of the artiste he took good care of her. However, she hardly made it known that she was the singer’s mother because ‘he was scared I might get kidnapped or killed.’
Aloba said, “I don’t tell people I am Mohbad’s mother, because he was scared, I might get kidnapped or killed.
“I’ve spent just five months in the new house he rented for me, he even visited me 3 times. He took me out of where I was living before to Ikorodu, he said he wanted to be visiting me from time to time.

“Whenever I visit him here, he sits right there and I’ll sit with him, then take him upstairs to sleep but he’ll be shaking his head. I even thought all those problems and attacks had stopped, but when they beat him again recently after he dropped his EP, I said these people haven’t left you, and he usually went to the police station to report, because I witnessed it twice.
“I spent 10 days with him, I did not know he was going to die. I left on Saturday and he died on Monday. And the reason I left on Saturday was because he had a show, he begged, begged, and begged me not to leave. So, I told him that won’t he allow me to go to church on Sunday, that I’ve missed church for two weeks and I needed to go and pray because I’m losing myself. It was the church that I mentioned that made him let me go.
“Because him and his wife were pranking me, I told him that I was going, but because he didn’t want me to go, he delayed giving me my feeding money because he knows I’ll leave if he gives me the money. Normally, he gives me feeding allowance every month.”

I get jealous of Portable’s other women — Fiancee, Ashabi Simple
An actress, Akinyanju Omobolarinde, aka Ashabi Simple, who is also a fiancée of controversial singer, Habeeb Okiki, aka Portable, has stated that she sometimes gets jealous of the other women in her fiance’s life, she understands that it is due to the nature of his job.
She also described the ‘Zazuu’ singer as her mentor, who was always protective of her.
In an interview with Saturday Beats, she stated that despite his hectic life, the singer often dedicated time to her every day. She said, “When it comes to his relationships, he is very protective. When I see him with other women, I sometimes get jealous, but I caution myself, knowing that he is a celebrity. However, he is always open and that is better than hiding (keeping secrets). I am used to it all.”

Expressing admiration for Portable’s dedication to his craft, she said, “I strive to achieve what I want. I am not in competition with anyone. If I want to compete with anyone, that should be my husband, because he is also an entertainer. I look up to him; he is more like my mentor. Despite being made, he is still vibrant and full of energy.”
The actress added that while Portable often surprised her with gifts, she was not one to lazy around. She said, “If I am dating him because of his money, I would be tired by now. No one forces Portable to do anything, and I do not have a problem with that, because I do a lot for myself. I have always been like that. Before I started my clothing business, I worked as a bus conductor, bartender, and I sold pieces of jewelry, before I started attending filmmaking class and working in the film industry as a manager. And, that was where I started making money.”
Reacting to Portable’s invitation to the Celestial Church of God, Goshen Land Cathedral branch, in Lagos State for a performance, Ashabi stated that it was not a crime. She added that the church’s planning committee must have discussed it with the church’s members before making such a decision.
