Law Lee, a close associate of the embattled musician Naira Marley, has ignited a firestorm of controversy with his recent candid remarks regarding the late singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, better known as Mohbad. Mohbad, who passed away at the age of 27 on September 12, 2023, continues to be a contentious figure, with the circumstances surrounding his death stirring debates across social media platforms.
