Late Nigerian artist, Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, has posthumously received two music awards in Ghana.
Mohbad, who tragically passed away at the age of 27, won the Supreme African Street-Hop Artist of the Year and Supreme African Song of the Year (“Beast and Peace”) at the Supreme Dynamic Talent Academy Awards.
Regrettably, Mohbad was set to receive his award nomination and approval letter before his untimely demise, shrouded in controversial circumstances.
The organizers of the prestigious award not only acknowledged his talent but also established an annual award category in his memory.
The award, named “Supreme Imole Rookie Street-Pop Artiste of the Year,” aims to immortalize Mohbad’s contributions to the music industry.
KanyiDaily recalls that dancehall artist, Patoranking claimed that careful attention to Mohbad’s lyrics would have revealed the challenges he was facing.
