On June 28, 2025, Nigerian entertainment promoter Sam Larry gave a sit-down interview to online commentator VeryDarkMan, addressing long-standing questions surrounding his relationship with the late artist Mohbad.<\/p>\n

The interview came nearly two years after Mohbad\u2019s passing on September 12, 2023, and several months after Sam Larry and singer Naira Marley were cleared by a Magistrate Court of any direct link to the artist\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

This article provides a comprehensive breakdown of Sam Larry\u2019s comments, compares them with available public records, and offers contextual analysis of the ongoing conversation surrounding Mohbad\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Sam Larry’s interview with Verydarkman<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

1. Claim: \u201cI Never Touched Mohbad<\/strong>\u201d<\/h4>\n

What Sam Larry Said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sam Larry stated clearly that he never physically assaulted Mohbad. He referred to the widely circulated nine-second beach video, saying it was a verbal confrontation over a financial matter, not an act of violence.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was no assault. I never touched Mohbad in my life.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Context<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • The beach video shows Sam Larry appearing during Mohbad\u2019s music video shoot, with a group of people.<\/li>\n
  • Mohbad\u2019s body language suggested alarm, but no physical assault is visible in the clip.<\/li>\n
  • In June 2023, Mohbad filed a police petition alleging harassment and disruption by Sam Larry and unnamed individuals during that same shoot.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Observation<\/strong>:
    \nSam Larry\u2019s account aligns with the absence of physical contact in the video. However, the situation\u2019s intensity and Mohbad\u2019s documented distress formed the basis of public concern.<\/p>\n

    2. Claim: \u20a62 Million Dispute Over Birthday Show<\/strong><\/h4>\n

    What Sam Larry Said:<\/strong>
    \nHe explained that in January 2023, he paid Mohbad \u20a62 million for a joint birthday performance. According to him, Mohbad did not attend the event, despite collecting the agreed sum.<\/p>\n

    \u201cIt was a birthday show matter. I just wanted him to show up. Nothing more.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Context<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Sam Larry and Mohbad were reportedly friends at some point and shared close birthdates (January 7 and January 4, respectively).<\/li>\n
    • There are no publicly available receipts, contracts, or voice notes to independently verify the \u20a62 million transaction.<\/li>\n
    • Mohbad did not publicly dispute this claim before his death.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Observation<\/strong>:
      \nThe claim establishes a possible motive for the beach confrontation, as stated by Sam Larry. The absence of documents or third-party confirmation makes the incident largely reliant on personal accounts.<\/p>\n

      3. Claim: Zlatan Was Present at the Beach Incident<\/strong><\/h4>\n
      \"\"
      Zlatan and Mohbad video screenshot<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

      What Sam Larry Said:<\/strong>
      \nSam Larry stated that Zlatan Ibile, a fellow artist, witnessed the encounter at the beach and helped de-escalate it.<\/p>\n

      \u201cZlatan said if he talks, people will misunderstand him.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Context<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Zlatan has not issued a public statement regarding the incident as of June 2025.<\/li>\n
      • His presence in the video was not confirmed or denied by law enforcement during the 2023 investigation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Observation<\/strong>:
        \nIf confirmed, Zlatan\u2019s testimony could support either side. However, his silence so far leaves the claim uncorroborated in public records.<\/p>\n

        4. Claim: He Was Abroad During Mohbad\u2019s Death<\/strong><\/h4>\n

        What Sam Larry Said:<\/strong>
        \nHe stated that he was in Dubai when Mohbad died and added that Naira Marley was in Amsterdam at the same time.<\/p>\n

        Context<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • Mohbad died on September 12, 2023, in Lagos.<\/li>\n
        • Sam Larry was arrested shortly afterward for questioning, but later released.<\/li>\n
        • No official immigration records or flight documents were released publicly by Sam Larry or Nigerian authorities to confirm his location on the date of Mohbad\u2019s death.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Observation<\/strong>:
          \nIf validated, the travel claim may rule out physical presence during the incident. It does not, however, negate previous events that may have caused psychological or emotional distress.<\/p>\n

          5. Claim: \u201cAll Stations Settled\u201d Video Was Misunderstood<\/strong><\/h4>\n

          What Sam Larry Said:<\/strong>
          \nHe addressed a resurfaced video where he is heard saying, \u201cAll stations settled. No question to answer.\u201d According to him, this video was recorded in 2013 or 2014, long before his issues with Mohbad.<\/p>\n

          \u201cThat clip was from years ago. I wasn\u2019t talking about Mohbad.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

          Context<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

            \n
          • The video went viral following Mohbad\u2019s death, and many interpreted it as a statement about law enforcement interference.<\/li>\n
          • No metadata or official timestamp has been provided to confirm the age of the video.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            Observation<\/strong>:
            \nThe timeline and context of the original clip remain unverified. Sam Larry\u2019s explanation reflects an effort to separate that footage from current events.<\/p>\n

            6. Claim: Regret and Respect for Mohbad<\/strong><\/h4>\n
            \"\"
            Mohbad<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

            What Sam Larry Said:<\/strong>
            \nHe expressed sadness over Mohbad\u2019s death and claimed to have supported his career in earlier stages.<\/p>\n

            \u201cI carried his career on my head. I liked him. I still do.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

            Context<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

              \n
            • Sam Larry has appeared in past social media clips promoting shows that featured Mohbad.<\/li>\n
            • However, the emergence of conflict between them in 2023 is well documented, including through Mohbad\u2019s own police petition.<\/li>\n
            • No concrete evidence has been provided to show financial or managerial investment in Mohbad\u2019s career trajectory.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              Observation<\/strong>:
              \nWhile past affiliations between the two are established, the extent and nature of Sam Larry\u2019s professional involvement remain unclear.<\/p>\n

              Legal Context<\/strong><\/h4>\n
                \n
              • In February 2025, a Magistrate Court ruled there was no sufficient evidence linking Sam Larry or Naira Marley to Mohbad\u2019s death.<\/li>\n
              • Joseph Aloba, Mohbad\u2019s father, filed a petition seeking a review of the investigation.<\/li>\n
              • The Lagos High Court is scheduled to hear the petition on July 2, 2025.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                Observation<\/strong>:
                \nThe upcoming High Court decision will determine if the case is reopened. The outcome could allow for fresh evidence or reinvestigation, if warranted.<\/p>\n

                Independent Observations on the Interview<\/strong><\/h4>\n

                A. Timing and Platform<\/strong><\/p>\n

                The interview comes just four days before the scheduled High Court hearing.<\/p>\n

                Sam Larry chose a popular but controversial activist, VeryDarkMan, whose audience is large but varied in opinion.<\/p>\n

                Neutral Note:<\/strong>
                \nPublic interviews by subjects of major controversies are common. The choice of platform may reflect a preference for informal tone or broader reach.<\/p>\n

                B. Documentation and Evidence<\/strong><\/p>\n

                No documents were displayed or submitted during the interview to support financial, travel, or professional claims.<\/p>\n

                There has been no confirmation from third parties, including Zlatan, Mohbad\u2019s management, or immigration authorities.<\/p>\n

                Neutral Note:<\/strong>
                \nIn the absence of documentation, viewers are left to assess credibility based on verbal testimony alone.<\/p>\n

                C. Public Reception<\/strong><\/p>\n

                The interview generated widespread online debate.<\/p>\n

                Viewers expressed mixed opinions\u2014some appreciated the opportunity for clarity; others questioned the timing.<\/p>\n

                Neutral Note:<\/strong>
                \nPublic response is not legally binding but may influence perception. The legal process remains the authoritative path to resolution.<\/p>\n

                FINAL THOUGHT<\/strong><\/h4>\n
                \"\"
                Sam Larry<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

                Sam Larry has spoken, but questions linger\u2014not just about what happened, but about how artists navigate fear, power, and silence in an industry without safeguards.<\/p>\n

                Mohbad’s story was never just about death\u2014it was about what leads to it, what follows it, and who is willing to speak when it matters most.<\/p>\n

                The truth may not rest in one interview, but in whether justice can still find its voice after the music fades.<\/p>\n

                Until then, the conversation continues\u2014on social media, in court, and among those who continue to seek clarity in the aftermath of a loss that shook Nigeria\u2019s entertainment scene.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
