Oxlade, Rema under fire over tributes to Mohbad

Social media users have recently lambasted singers Rema and Oxlade for their tributes to their late colleague Oladimeji Aloba, also known as Mohbad.

Rema posted a photo of the late 27-year-old on his Instagram story on Sunday, along with a message expressing his disappointment at not seeing the latter’s message.

“No one deserves to go like this. I’m hurt I never saw your DM. You wrote “Peace of mind” was your favourite song. Now it’s too late to write you back. God’s angels be with you, Rest well King,” Rema wrote.

Oxlade through a now-deleted Instagram story posted on Monday a screenshot of the messages Mohbad sent to him with an indication that the latter’s account was restricted.

Social media users expressed their displeasure at them being unable to reply Mohbad’s messages but give tributes to him after his death.

Oxlade then posted a screenshot of conversations with the late singer after the backlash.

Mohbad died in Lagos on Tuesday, September 12 and was laid to rest Wednesday the next day, in accordance with Islamic law.

He was nominated for Best Street Hip-Hop Artiste at the recently concluded 16th Headies Awards for his song ‘Peace’.
