Controversial Lagos socialite, Balogun Eletu, also known as Sam Larry, has opened up about what transpired and led to the constant feud and alleged assault of late 27-year-old singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad.

The embattled show promoter, in a statement released on Friday, September 29th on Snapchat, following his arrest by the police over an ongoing investigation into the circumstances leading to the death of the Afrobeat star, said that the late singer owed him money and refused to pay.

According to Larry, he had to let go of the money after a series of back and forth with the singer, adding that he hasn’t been paid until now.

The statement reads; “2 years ago, I gave Illeri N2m to preform at my mother’s annual remembrance concert at Ikorodu, he never turned up, so I called him to ask why? He then said he was not feeling well, and when i asked for a refund, he said he lost his phone and money recently when the NDLEA raided his place in the process and since he was lleaving Marlian Records, he is now broke, with no commitment to repay.
