Naira Marley takes legal action against K-Solo for defamation of character over Mohbad’s death

Nigerian singer Afeez Fashola, widely known as Naira Marley, has declared his intention to pursue legal action against Nigerian record producer Solomon Oyeniyi, professionally known as K-Solo. This decision follows accusations made by K-Solo in September, suggesting Naira Marley’s involvement in the tragic death of his former signee, Mohbad.

K-Solo made these claims during an appearance on Channels TV’s program, Rubbin’ Minds, stating, “Naira Marley can’t tell me he is not involved. He has a hand in Mohbad’s death.”

In response, Naira Marley’s media team issued a statement on Thursday, announcing their intent to take legal action against K-Solo for defamation of character. The statement also emphasized their readiness to sue anyone making allegations against the singer in the future.

The statement from Naira Marley’s media team reads, “The legal team representing Naira Marley will be initiating legal action against K-Solo for defamation of character. It is essential to emphasize that making unfounded allegations and false statements can have far-reaching consequences.

“Accusations of this nature not only tarnish the image of the accused but also perpetuate baseless claims that have spread like wildfire because elements like K-Solo and others (especially two known actresses) have spearheaded the campaign of calumny against the person of Naira for reasons best known to them.

“In the past, we kept quiet because we wanted to honour the memory of the dead and honour the relationship with him, but we realized many people are setting a negative agenda and spreading a negative narrative against Naira Marley. We will no longer fold our hands and watch people with a negative agenda drag Naira Marley.

“From this moment on, anyone who alleges must present concrete proof not only on the Internet but also in a Court of Law. Every falsehood and rumor will be met with severity and the full weight of the law.”
