Popular Nigerian comedian and content creator, Abdul Gafar Abiola, better known as Cute Abiola, has taken to his social media page to remember the late musician, Ilerioluwa Aloba, also known as Mohbad on Thursday, September 12, amid his first death anniversary.
New Telegraph reports that Mohbad was a fast-rising Nigerian singer, songwriter, and rapper who gained fame as part of the Marlian Music label, owned by Naira Marley, with hit songs like “Ponmo,” “Feel Good,” and “KPK” (Ko Por Ke).
He was known for his unique voice, catchy songs, and lively performances. His music connected with many, especially young people, because it talked about street life, hard work, and success.
However, amidst his success, Mohbad’s career wasn’t without controversy. In late 2022, he made headlines after a public feud with his former label, Marlian Music, claiming to have been harassed and assaulted by members of the label after voicing his desire to leave due to disputes over his career management and personal issues.
Sadly, Mohbad passed away on Tuesday, September 12, 2023, at the age of 26 in a controversial manner and the cause of his demise remains unclear.

However, in remembrance of his tragic passing, Cute Abiola has taken to his Instagram page to pay his tribute with an old emotional video showing the moment the late singer gave his testimony in a white garment church.
In the video, Mohbad expressed gratitude to God for making him a light that refused to dim.
“Amen, somebody, I am here today to share my testimony. The Lord has been so good to me; He made me the light that refuses to dim. So, looking back from where I’m from to where I am now, I feel blessed.”
