Controversial Nigerian investigative journalist, Kemi Olunloyo, has stirred fresh drama with new allegations against Afrobeats star Davido and Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo, linking them to the late Mohbad and Marlian Records boss, Naira Marley.
In a Facebook post, Olunloyo revisited the 2021 burial of Tiwa Savage’s father, noting that both Davido and Iyabo were conspicuously absent. She claimed their absence was tied to sensitive controversies surrounding each of them.
According to her, Iyabo Ojo allegedly avoided the event because Mohbad was scheduled to perform, alleging that the late singer had discovered she was secretly arranging hookups for his wife, Omowunmi.
On Davido’s part, Olunloyo alleged the singer deliberately stayed away due to his strained ties with Naira Marley. She claimed Davido sent his aide, Dre DMW, in 2022 to woo Zinoleesky into joining his DMW label in a bid to weaken Marlian Music, which was then enjoying massive success.
Olunloyo further alleged this move caused tension between Davido and Naira Marley, leading to a series of cryptic shades from Marley on social media throughout 2024.
Quoting her post, she wrote:
“The 2 major celebrities that did not attend Tiwa Savage’s father’s burial were Davido and Iyabo Ojo. Iyabo avoided due to Mohbad performing. He just found out Iyabo was sending his wife on hookups. Davido, for obvious reasons, sent Dre DMW to Zinoleesky in 2022 to get Zino into DMW. Davido wanted to collapse Marlian Music due to their endless success. This is why NM shaded David in tweets throughout 2024. They do not speak.”
