Singer Fola has shared a heartfelt memory of late Nigerian artiste Mohbad, revealing a kind gesture he says he will never forget.
In an interview, Fola was asked whom he would like to share a Coke with if given the chance. Without hesitation, he chose Mohbad, explaining that the late singer played a meaningful role in his early music journey.
“I would like to share a Coke with Mohbad. RIP to Mohbad, I can’t forget, he bought me my first iPhone. He bought me an iPhone 6 in 2019. I still miss him, and I still wanna share a Coke with him,” Fola said.
According to him, the gesture came at a critical period when he was still struggling to find his footing as an artiste.
At the time, Fola was working and saving money before relocating to Lagos to pursue music full-time, and the gift meant more than just a phone.
He added that Mohbad’s support was not limited to material assistance. The late singer also helped him make valuable connections within the music industry, which contributed to his development and growth as an artiste.
Mohbad, born Ilerioluwa Aloba, passed away on September 12, 2023, at 27. His death sparked widespread reactions across the music industry, with many artists continuing to share personal stories highlighting his generosity and impact on their lives.
