The development came to light after controversial social media figure VeryDarkMan shared screenshots of the chat on Instagram. In the conversation, Iyabo Ojo reportedly expressed disappointment with Davido, accusing him of chasing clout with his public support for Mohbad while still following Naira Marley, a figure many have linked—rightly or wrongly—to Mohbad’s struggles before his death.
“My problem is not even the black whatever,” Ojo wrote, referencing VeryDarkMan. “It is Davido who flew down like he claimed to fight for justice, but he still dey follow Naira Marley. That means he was chasing clout. I’m so disappointed… and to think he has been saying he is the only superstar artist who stood by Mohbad. Just fake love 001.”
In what appears to be a direct response to the leaked remarks, Davido has now unfollowed Iyabo Ojo on Instagram. A quick check shows that while Davido no longer follows the actress, Iyabo Ojo is still following the music star.
Background: The Mohbad Tragedy and Celebrity Fallout
Mohbad, a fast-rising Nigerian artist, died in September 2023 under controversial circumstances, sparking widespread outrage and a national campaign for justice. His death mobilised both fans and celebrities across the country, with figures like Davido, Falz, and Zlatan attending a well-publicised candlelight procession in his honour.
Iyabo Ojo emerged as one of the most visible voices in the “Justice for Mohbad” movement, reportedly creating a dedicated WhatsApp group to coordinate efforts. However, months later, the actress admitted in an interview that she regretted advocating for Mohbad’s exhumation, which was part of the legal investigation into his death.
Online Reactions and Unfolding Drama
Social media has been abuzz since the unfollowing became public, with many fans weighing in on both sides. Some have defended Davido’s decision, describing Iyabo’s leaked remarks as disrespectful and unfair. Others have questioned whether the fallout signals deeper divisions among celebrities who initially united over Mohbad’s case.
Neither Davido nor Iyabo Ojo has officially commented on the matter, but the incident highlights how private grievances in Nigeria’s entertainment industry can quickly spill into the public domain—often with long-lasting reputational consequences.
As fans continue to dissect the implications of the fallout, one thing is clear: Mohbad’s legacy still looms large, and conversations surrounding his death continue to stir raw emotions and public scrutiny.
