Why I Restricted Mohbad’s Account – Oxlade
Nigerian singer Oxlade has explained the reason he restricted his late colleague Mohbad’s account on Instagram.
You will recall that Oxlade was dragged through the mud after it was discovered that he had restricted Mohbad’s account on Instagram. This unfolded when he paid tribute to the 27-year-old singer, posting on Instagram the screenshot of messages that Mohbad sent to his DM in 2018.
Oxlade, who said he has been receiving death threats since the event, posted a statement on his X page overnight, clearing his name and explaining why he restricted not just Mohbad’s account but those of other people too.
He said people like him have teams managing their social media accounts, and that the accounts he restricted are actually those he considers private.
He wrote: ‘Tape drop, I no talk. Lawsuit matter, I no talk. Lost endorsements I still did not sen. You drag me for tik-tok. 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 matter I won’t be quiet. How do you think people like me manage the dm’s? We have teams.
‘I restrict certain accounts to only me/my phone so only I can reply. I’m not clearing my name. I’m giving you facts. I’ve lost a friend and I can’t even grieve properly because the elders and blogs want to use me for clickbait. Fighting against bullying but you are bullying me. Make it make sense. I’m not speaking on this again please. Let us focus on getting Justice. Make una use una time do better thing and leave people to live.
‘Notes: only restrict accounts I have a personal relationship with because my label runs my account and order 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 account are private and they come from my close friends. I’ve 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. Imole season for a reason. Love; Gaza.’
