During the With Chude interview, Bella Shmurda sounded an alarm that his colleague was going through a mental health crisis over his issues with Naira Marley's record label, Marlian Records. However, he left the label in 2022 over internal matters.

Mohbad has publicly also called out Marlian Records for making his life difficult after he exited the label. In one of the old videos that went viral after his death, Mohbad during a live Instagram session said "if I die na Marlian music kill me". In another video, he disclosed how the label has been frustrating him.

Amidst the brouhaha around Mohbad's death, Mr Drew who has also exited his former record label, Highly Spiritual Music, seems to have seized the moment to speak out.
