SINGER, Ikuforiji Olaitan Abdulrahman aka Oxlade, has broken the silence on why he placed restrictions on the Instagram account of late Nigerian Rapper, Oladimeji Aloba Promise aka Mohbad.
Oxlade detailed his explanations in a post made on his X handle (formerly Twitter) on Friday night.
This comes after suffering a backlash from a screenshot he posted of his conversation with the late Mohbad.
Fans were quick to observe that the late Singer’s account was restricted by Oxlade.
This led to insults being hurled ar the Singer, as well as threats to his life by some.
Oxlade has, however, explained that, due to the fact that his record label attends to his media responses and owing to the fact that he has so many followers, messages from “important” individuals are highlighted by restricting those accounts for easy attention.
“Tape drop, I no talk. Lawsuit matter, I no talk. Lost endorsements. I still did not send it. You drag me for TikTok. Call me oxtail. Because the doctor 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 DMs? We have teams. I restrict certain accounts to only me/my phone so only I can reply. I’m not clearing my name. I am giving you facts.
“I’ve lost a friend, and I can’t grieve properly because elders and blogs want to use me for click bait. Fighting against bullying, but you are bullying me. Make it make sense. I’m not speaking on this again, please. Let’s focus on getting justice. Make una use una time to do better things and leave other people to live.
“Note: I only restrict accounts I have a personal relationship with because my label runs my account in 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 accounts are private and come from my close friends.
“I have been getting death threats ever since the event was unveiled but I don’t take anything personal because everything happens for a reason.
“You can silence me with a scandal but you can never dim my light. Imole season for a reason. Love; Gaza,” Oxlade posted.
The Singer will hope this explanation assuages aggrieved fans even as he mourns the death of the Mohbad, who passed away on Tuesday September 12, 2023 in controversial circumstances.
