Mohbad Terminates Contract With Marlian Records
After months of online/offline scuffles with Naira Marley and his record label, Marlian Records, Mohbad enlisted professional help to end it. His lawyers have officially terminated his contract with the record label.
The termination notice was issued a few weeks after Mohbad accused Naira Marley and his gang of assaulting him.
He had taken to Twitter to share a series of disturbing Tweets with videos of his bruised body, after he was allegedly attacked by Naira Marley’s gang. He claimed that Naira Marley had ordered a hit on him because he wanted a change of management.

Marlian Records boss, Naira Marley, denied the allegations following a massive backlash from fans. During an Instagram live session, he claimed that Mohbad was not assaulted. Rather, he was forcefully restrained when he tried to fight his manager while intoxicated.
Now that their conflict has come to a head, Mohbad is seeking an immediate termination of his contract with the record label he joined in 2019.
His legal representative issued a termination notice citing all the reasons for their client’s decision. The letter indicates that the termination was effective as of the 7th of October, 2022.
It read:
