“Bella Shmurda,” she wrote on her X account. I’m giving you 48 hours to report to @PoliceNG and speak with @Princemoye1 or to force CID Ikoyi.”
Adejobi, a police spokesperson, quoted her message with the comment, “I am expecting to hear from him.”
In an interview, Bella Shmurda stated that Mohbad attempted suicide following a falling out with Naira Marley’s record label, Marlian Music. He also claimed that the late artist was being threatened.
