Joseph Aloba, father of late rapper, Ilerioluwa Olademeji Aloba, aka MohBad, has requested a DNA test be carried out on his grandson to establish his paternity.
In the wake of MohBad’s demise, some Nigerians demanded a DNA test to prove the paternity of the five-month-old son considering the controversies surrounding his death.
Speaking in an interview with BBC Pidgin, MohBad’s dad was asked to address the massive controversial call for paternity test on his grandson.
He insisted the right thing should be done as the matter was now a global concern.
He said: “This thing has become a majority thing, not only in Nigeria. So they should do the proper thing at the proper time.”
On September 24, a video surfaced online of a businessman, Larry Omodia, urging Mohbad’s wife to conduct a DNA test on her son to confirm his paternity.
He pledged to provide N10 million to support the singer’s widow for an ‘all-expense paid’ DNA test if she agreed.
He expressed the view that a DNA test was necessary considering the numerous controversies surrounding Mohbad’s passing.
He asserted that a leaked conversation between Mohbad and Omowunmi during a heated argument made her a prime suspect.
