The family, however, did not reveal the cause of the 27-year-old rapper’s death.
Mohbad is a former artiste of Marlian Records, which is owned by Naira Marley.
But in October 2022, the singer alleged assault by the record label’s head honcho.
Mohbad also claimed members of Marley’s music label assaulted him for requesting a new manager.
In his reaction, Naira Marley alleged Mohbad was “high” when making the assault allegation.
The singer would later terminate his contract with Marlian Records.
Bella Shmurda, the Afropop singer, also revealed how Mohbad attempted to end his life during the rift with Naira Marley.
“At a point, Myself and Mohbad were in an apartment, and he said he wanted to jump from upstairs,” he had said.
