Mohbad: ‘I’m not the father’ – Oba Elegushi clears air on late singer’s son

The Elegushi of IkateElegushi Kingdom, Oba Saheed Elegushi, has refuted allegations of being the father of Liam, the son of the late singer IleriOluwa Aloba, known as Mohbad. Oba Elegushi dismissed these rumors as a malicious attempt to damage his reputation.

Following Mohbad’s death, questions regarding paternity arose, with the late singer’s father calling for a DNA test to confirm Liam’s lineage. On TikTok, a user named Oloriebimusicproduction2 made multiple posts suggesting possible involvement of the monarch in Mohbad’s demise, alleging that Oba Elegushi was using his influence to obstruct justice.

In response, Oba Elegushi denounced these claims as unfounded accusations intended to tarnish his character. He revealed that a petition has been filed against those spreading these falsehoods.

A statement issued by his media consultant, Deyemi Saka, addressed the situation, clarifying that the allegations are baseless and orchestrated by specific individuals on TikTok and other social media platforms. Oba Elegushi has taken legal action to protect his rights and reputation from cyberbullying, expressing confidence in the Nigerian Police to address the matter.

While extending condolences to Mohbad’s family, Oba Elegushi urged the public not to involve the traditional institution in the paternity dispute. He emphasized the need for a thorough investigation and swift justice for Mohbad’s death, emphasizing that he shares the nation’s sorrow over the loss of the singer. The statement concluded with a plea to refrain from tarnishing Oba Elegushi’s integrity and the esteemed traditional institution he represents.
