As contained in the document, Mohbad petitioned the Police that there was a threat to his life as he sought protection against Sam Larry and his former label boss Niara Marley; he had a fallout due to recording contract disputes.
Similarly, a video of Sam Larry bullying the late rapper surfaced on social media shortly after the rapper was laid to rest.
Mohbad's petition to police against Sam Larry
In the petition filed before the Police, Mohbad claimed that Sam Larry had boasted that he works for Oba Saheed Ademola of Elegushi.
"...they were boasting that they work for Oba Elegushi and that they have been asked to deal with me for reasons best known to them which to date they are still threatening to kill me if seen.
“Sir, I call on your good office to save my life from the above-mentioned persons and bring them to book. Thank you for your timely intervention.”
In reaction to the scenario, the Elegushi royal family stated on Thursday, September 14, denying their association with Sam Larry.
The statement vehemently stated that Sam Larry is not a family member, nor does he work for the royal family.
The statement according to Punch reads:
“The Elegushi Royal Family of Eti-Osa wishes to put on record the misinformation on the media space involving Sanmson Erinfolami Balogun (AKA Sam Larry).
“Samson Balogun is not a member of the royal family and does not work for the royal family or king in any capacity. Like other celebrities, politicians, religious and community leaders, he visits the place to pay homage and to the king and seek royal blessings just like other members of the public."
The royal family, however, extended their deepest condolence to the family of the deceased rapper.
The royal family called on the authorities to conduct a thorough investigation to unearth the cause of Mohbad's demise.
