Nigerian influencer Sulaimon Adebayo, aka Pooja, has broken his silence after being publicly questioned by activist VeryDarkMan over a sensitive issue involving the late singer Mohbad’s son, Liam.
VDM had called out Pooja and another influencer, Mbah, accusing them of spreading unverified claims in 2023 that the DNA test had confirmed Liam as Mohbad’s biological child. But Pooja stated it wasn’t what it looked like.
Taking to X, Pooja denied acting out of bias or being sponsored to push a particular narrative in the ongoing Mohbad case.
He stated: “Everyone wanted the best for Mohbad's innocent son… Like everyone, we were all happy about the news and wanted the best for the innocent son.”
He backed his tweet by posting a screenshot of a newspaper headline reporting on the DNA result at the time. To him, that was credible enough to share — not a deliberate attempt to mislead.
Pooja said he only posted out of genuine concern and grief.
He added: “I was deeply hurt by Mohbad’s untimely passing, like many Nigerians. So when I saw posts suggesting that his child had been confirmed as his, I tweeted out of emotion and genuine concern for the baby’s future.”
The journalist, however, stated that his intentions were pure — to see Mohbad’s legacy live on through his son. He admitted that if his post caused pain to the late singer’s family or fans, he was open to removing it entirely.
He concluded: “If my tweet was inaccurate or caused any pain, I sincerely apologize. That was never my intention. I’m open to taking it down out of respect for the family.”
