The father of the late Nigerian singer Mohbad, Joseph Aloba, has sparked controversy on social media with the release of a new song, titled “A Plea.”
The bereaved father shared the song on his official TikTok page, describing it as a heartfelt plea.
However, many social media users found the song difficult to interpret, especially as it was performed in Yoruba. Despite his intentions, Aloba faced severe criticism from online users who expressed their disapproval in the comments section.
This release comes shortly after Aloba made headlines for his legal actions in relation to his son’s death. He recently filed an application with the Ikeja State High Court, seeking to overturn the legal advice that led to the release of Naira Marley, a figure previously linked to Mohbad.
The grief-stricken father was also seen in a viral video engaging in light-hearted exchanges with party guests. His participation in social gatherings raised eyebrows among some social media users, who expressed discomfort with his demeanor, given the recent passing of his son. Many criticized Aloba’s actions, with some questioning his behavior as inappropriate in light of his tragic loss.
Aloba’s decision to share his song and partake in public events has ignited a heated debate, with some fans offering their opinions on his conduct during this period of mourning.
