Following the circumstances surrounding the passing of young talented singer and rapper, Mohbad, Splash FM 105.5, a radio station in Ibadan has banned Naira Marley’s songs until further notice.
The ban was announced by Aderonke Adesola, a presenter at the station, saying Marley’s songs have been placed on “Not to Be Broadcast” (NTTB) on the radio frequencies by the station’s management
The post on her X page, formerly known as Twitter read, “Good evening, team. In view of the sensitive nature surrounding the death of Mohbad and the criminal procedure initiated by the police, I urge us all to exercise discretion.
“To this effect, Naira Marley’s songs have become NTBB (not to be broadcast) on our station until further notice. This is with immediate effect. Thank you.”
Similarly, another radio station in Ibadan, Agidigbo 88.7 FM, has suspended the airplay of all songs from the Marlian Music label over the development.
Mohbad, who died at the age of 27, was formerly signed to Marlian Music, a record label owned by Naira Marley but left in February 2022.
