Why I restricted Mohbad’s IG account – Oxlade

Nigerian singer, Oxlade, has addressed the recent controversies surrounding him restricting late Mohbad’s Instagram account in a detailed message.

Oxlade received criticism after sharing a screenshot of his conversation with Mohbad while mourning his death, but netizens noticed that the account was “restricted.”

Oxlade clarified that his account is managed by his record label, and the “restricted” feature is used to separate private conversations from those intended for his team’s access.

He also condemned the cyberbullying he faced on social media, including the leakage of an intimate video and the events that followed.

In his words:

“Tape drop. I no talk Law suit matter. I no talk Lost endorsements. I still did not send. You drag me for tiktok. Call me oxtail. The fact that the dr put me on vocal rest for nodules, you people still neva cared but I still never send.

On THIS matta I won’t be quiet.. How do you think people like me manage the DMs? We have teams. I restrict certain accounts to only me / my phone so only I can reply. I’m not clearing my name. I am giving you facts. I’ve lost a friend and I can’t even grieve properly because elders and blogs want to use me for click bait.

Fighting against bullying but you are bullying me. Make it make sense.. Im not speaking on this again please. Let’s focus on getting justice. Make una use una time do better thing and leave other people to live.

Note: I only restrict accounts I have a personal relationship with, because my label runs my account in other not to miss important bookings and business conversations. So the restricted account is a way of pointing out to my label that the messages from these accounts are private and they come from my close friends.

I have been getting death threats ever since the event unveiled but I no take anything personal because everything happens for a reason. You can silent me with a scandal but you can never dim my light. ‘mole season for a reason. Love; Gaza”
