- Social Media influencer and writer, Solomon Buchi weighs in on the death of popular singer, Mohbad
- The writer asserted that most influential Nigerian musicians are cultists
Popular writer and social media influencer Solomon Buchi claims that the majority of influential Nigerian musicians are cults.
Buchi made this assertion, Following the intense controversy surrounding the passing of the Nigerian musician Mohbad, who had previously been contracted to Marlian Records.
Mohbad passed away in a contentious manner on Tuesday, September 12, 2023.
Naira Marley, the owner of Marlian Records, and his aide, Sam Larry, came under fire on social media when a series of videos appeared on the internet showing the two subjecting the late musician to persistent abuse for leaving Marlian Records.
In reaction to the video and all the recent happenings in different posts on his Instagram page, Solomon Buchi wrote:
“I’ve been under the pages of books researching about Mohbad, his music boss, Naira Marley, and other parties that were involved in his life until his unfortunate demise. This has reinforced my belief that the Nigerian music industry is a cesspool of cultism, gangsterism, diabolical politics, and abysmal moral values.
I listened to very few of his songs and noticed the pain in his voice, the sonorous and sober tone, and his poignant lyrics that often expressed the difficulty of life. His music mirrored his deepest struggles and his hope to overcome them. It got me thinking about the rot, evil, and darkness that exist in the realm of entertainment.
Almost nothing to be exemplary of Naira Marley, Mohbad’s boss, who rose to fame by subliminally endorsing fraud and other negative vices. Now, he’s roped into this situation with strong and believable allegations of Mohbad’s death on him. And most of our youngsters listened to him and praised him until just before Mohbad’s death.
Generally, the Nigerian music industry is a game of dirty power, gang rivalry, and shady deals. Most popular Nigerian musicians are cultists. Through their music, dressing, videos, lingo, and fraternal phrases, they are easy to identify. And what do they do? Of course, they don’t kill mosquitoes or keep peace—it’s a cycle of chaos. RIP Mohbad.”
