Omowunmi Aloba, the widow of late Afrobeat singer Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, well known as Mohbad, has dismissed claims circulating on social media that she recently welcomed a second child with another man.
The rumour, which emerged on X, alleged that Omowunmi had given birth to a baby girl, triggering widespread reactions online. While some users defended her right to move on, others criticised her for allegedly having another child before her husband’s burial.
Reacting via her Snapchat account, Omowunmi described the claim as a “smear campaign” targeted at damaging her reputation.
“You guys are funny on Twitter. Mohbad’s wife gave birth? This smear campaign is funny asf,” she wrote.
“Why are you wishing me bad? Because what is this?” she added.
Mohbad died on September 12, 2023, under controversial circumstances. His death remains under investigation, with his body reportedly still in the mortuary pending burial.
Following the unresolved circumstances surrounding the singer’s death and allegations of infidelity levelled against Omowunmi, Mohbad’s father, Joseph Aloba, had earlier demanded a DNA test to confirm the paternity of Liam, the couple’s only son.
