Alleged Defamation: Primeboy Threatens Legal Action Against Mohbad’s Mother
Owodunni Ibrahim, popularly known as Primeboy, has responded to claims made by the mother of late singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, better known as Mohbad, regarding his relationship with the artist.
The statement comes in light of accusations from Mohbad’s mother, Abosede Adeyemo-Aloba, who alleged that Primeboy had an altercation with her son while he was alive.
In a recent online interview, Adeyemo-Aloba claimed that Primeboy had been vocal about his grievances concerning Mohbad’s alleged neglect after rising to fame.
In response, Primeboy, through his lawyer Akinpelu Ogunbona, issued a statement on Saturday addressing the allegations.
Primeboy’s legal representative emphasized that the claims made by Mohbad’s mother are unfounded and misrepresent the nature of his relationship with the late artist.
The statement reads, “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 death of the late Mohbad so as not to be suspected regarding the death.”
While describing her submission as a defamation of character, the singer alleged that her actions were deliberate.
He added that this had affected the love he enjoyed from his fans.
The statement added, “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.”
