MOHBAD'S DEATH: Representatives Summon Naira Marley Over Mohbad's Royalties
Representatives Summon Naira Marley Over Mohbad's Royalties
Entertainer Azeez Fashola, better known by his stage name Naira Marley, has been invited to appear before the House of Representatives.
This is an attempt to ensure that the rights of the late singer, llerioluwa Aloba, often known as Mohbad, are respected and to address concerns about his works.
The House also invited Mohbad's manager, Jiggy Adeoye, through its Committee on Justice, Youth, and Legislative Compliance.
This is a brave move in the right direction to get rightful payment and royalties for the deceased music icon.
On September 12, Mohbad, a previous signee of Naira Marley's record label, unfortunately died at the age of 27 in mysterious circumstances.
The House took action on the issue as a result of a motion that Rep. Babajimi Benson (APC-Lagos) sponsored.
Benson expressed worries about the contracts and agreements that artists were frequently forced to sign and called for a revision of the rules governing copyright and the entertainment industry.
Legislators pledged to guarantee fair recompense and royalties for Mohbad's musical compositions during the topic's discussion in the plenary on September 26.
The legislators also promised to keep an eye on the current inquiry regarding his passing and the royalties that are being paid to him.
Sworn by Mr. Yusuf Ibrahim, the Committee's Clerk, on October 26, the house formally called Naira Marley and Mohbad's manager.
The purpose of this was to shed light on the circumstances and advise the committee on possible legislative measures.
The Performing Musicians Associations of Nigeria President was the person who forwarded the letter.
Recall that Mohbad passed away on September 12, 2023, in a contentious manner, and was buried at Ikorodu the next day.
