As the first remembrance of the death of popular singer, Mohbad approaches, his widow, Omowunmi, has stirred mixed reactions online with an Instagram post.
In anticipation of the remembrance on September 12, 2024, Omowunmi shared a nostalgic throwback photo of herself and Mohbad, but the gesture has sparked a heated debate.
Mohbad, whose real name was Ilerioluwa Promise, tragically died under mysterious circumstances at the age of 27.
His passing followed troubling videos that surfaced, depicting alleged mistreatment by his former label boss, Naira Marley, and his associates.
In her Instagram story, Omowunmi shared a touching photo of the couple, but opted not to include a caption. This move has prompted backlash from netizens, many of whom are urging her to address ongoing controversies surrounding the paternity of the child she shared with Mohbad.
Since Mohbad’s death, there has been a call from his family, including his father, for a DNA test to confirm the paternity of Mohbad’s son, Liam. Despite a court order for the test, Omowunmi has resisted, citing her refusal to comply with public demands. In April, a court in Ikorodu ordered that the DNA test request be served to her through her last known address after previous attempts failed.

During her birthday in April, Omowunmi requested that fans celebrate Mohbad instead of her, marking a poignant acknowledgment of her loss. She described Mohbad as her best friend, confidant, and the giver of her greatest gift—their son, Liam.
The call for a DNA test remains a sensitive issue, with many online users feeling that Omowunmi should address it directly rather than sharing sentimental posts on the remembrance of the death of Mohbad. As the anniversary of Mohbad’s death approaches, the debate continues to unfold, reflecting the unresolved questions and emotions surrounding his passing.
