Mohbad’s Father, Aloba, Responds to Criticism Over Allegations of Using His Son’s Death to Promote His Music Career

Joseph Aloba, father of the late artist Mohbad, has responded to criticism over claims that he is using his son’s death to promote his own music career.

In an interview with Silverbird TV, Aloba denied the allegations, explaining that music serves as a therapeutic way to cope with his grief.

Aloba, a gospel singer, revealed that he taught Mohbad how to sing and now finds comfort in performing his late son’s songs.

He clarified that he had been singing long before Mohbad’s death and plans to release another album soon.

Aloba said: “I taught Mohbad how to sing. I’m a gospel singer, and he was a hip-hop artist. After this thing happened, I see his songs as an easier way for me to mourn. I remember him through singing.

“I sing whenever I remember him, but people don’t see it that way. I did a record before his death, but it was not popular, but now people are focusing on me, and they know the kind of thing I’m doing. It is not that I started singing after his death. Very soon another album will be out.”

He noted that while Mohbad had made efforts to reconcile the family during his lifetime, tensions surfaced after his passing.

Recalling a family meeting organized by Mohbad’s attorney, Aloba revealed that tensions escalated when family members convened without waiting for him, as the family head, to arrive.
