“Why Should I Fight For Mohbad When His Father Is Quiet?” – Samklef Questions Silence Amid Ongoing Justice Campaign
Popular Nigerian music producer and artist, Samklef, has stirred reactions online after questioning the continued silence of Mohbad’s father amidst ongoing calls for justice over the late singer’s tragic passing. The producer, known for his outspoken views, expressed his frustration on social media, asking why he should continue to advocate for Mohbad when key family members appear to have taken a backseat.
The controversy surrounding the untimely death of Mohbad, whose real name was Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, has remained a hot topic within the entertainment industry and among fans. Many celebrities and fans have pushed for a thorough investigation, demanding justice and transparency. However, Samklef believes the lack of consistent public engagement from Mohbad’s father sends mixed signals.
“Why should I be shouting more than the people directly involved?” Samklef questioned in a now-viral post. “If Mohbad’s own father has gone quiet, what do you expect me to keep fighting for? People need to wake up and face the reality.”
His comments have sparked fresh conversations online, with some supporting his stance and others criticizing what they see as a dismissal of the collective responsibility to seek justice. Supporters of Samklef argue that the silence from Mohbad’s family, especially his father, weakens the momentum of the movement demanding accountability from those allegedly involved.
The outburst from the veteran producer also draws attention to the larger issue of justice in Nigeria’s music industry, where young artists often suffer in silence under exploitative conditions. Samklef, who has consistently used his platform to highlight industry injustices, emphasized that without the family’s firm stand, outsiders can only do so much.
As fans continue to remember Mohbad’s legacy and question the circumstances around his death, Samklef’s statement has added a new layer to the ongoing discourse raising the tough question: how long should outsiders fight when the family stays silent?
