The widespread decision to boycott Naira Marley, his music, and his record label sprung from the fervent grievances of Mohbad’s ardent fans. These passionate supporters did not hold back their contempt for Marley, vocally expressing their disappointment in the comment sections of his posts.

Across social media and during peaceful protests, they clamoured for justice for the late singer.

In response to the mounting pressure, Naira Marley issued a press release through his label, vehemently denying any wrongdoing and emphasizing his deep affection for Mohbad, whom he regarded as a brother.

He joined the chorus demanding justice for his former protege and changed his Instagram profile picture to that of Mohbad as a tribute. Despite his efforts, a significant portion of the public remained unconvinced, with many insisting on his arrest and thorough interrogation, alongside his associate Sammy Larry.
