A video purporting to show singer Naira Marley issuing a public apology to Nigerians over the death of Mohbad has gone massively viral on social media.
The post, which surfaced on Friday, June 12, 2026, claimed that Naira Marley said: “Nigeria, I want to sincerely apologise if anything I said or did offended you. It’s been really tough seeing everyone come after me. I know I had nothing to do with Mohbad. I’m asking everyone to let this go. RIP Mohbad love you, bro.”
The video quickly gained hundreds of thousands of views and generated heated reactions. However, many users have pointed out that the caption appears misleading, as the actual video content does not fully align with the apology text attached to it.
The post triggered divided opinions. While some users called for Naira Marley to be left alone and for the matter to be put to rest, others expressed strong scepticism and anger.
Several comments accused the poster of spreading misleading information, with remarks such as: “Writing misleading information on a video is wrong… The video and the caption don’t correlate!”
“The caption is saying something else, the video is saying something else.”
“Too late fool.”
Some netizens expressed that enough time had passed and urged people to move on. In contrast, others maintained strong resentment, believing Naira Marley has not shown genuine remorse regarding the circumstances surrounding Mohbad’s death.
The death of singer Mohbad in September 2023 remains a highly emotional and sensitive topic in Nigeria. Naira Marley, his former label boss, has faced repeated accusations and public scrutiny over alleged involvement or negligence, despite consistently denying any wrongdoing.
This latest video appears to be an attempt at reconciliation or image rehabilitation, but the mixed reactions show that public trust and emotions around the issue remain raw more than two years later.
As of now, there has been no official confirmation or denial from Naira Marley or his team regarding the authenticity or intent of the circulating video. The development highlights how social media continues to fuel ongoing debates and misinformation around the Mohbad case, with many Nigerians still demanding justice and closure.
