Profession
Mubad’s love for music dates back to his secondary school days, when he was one of the most creative students. He was known for performing freestyle rap songs during lunch breaks and school parties.
In his spare time, he would take out his notebook, write rap songs, and then perform them to the amazement and encouragement of his friends.
However, in 2016, he decided to pursue a professional music career. In tears, he improved his songwriting, singing and rapping skills and decided to try his hand at music. This was also the period when his stage name Mohbad was born.
Early in his career, Mobade decided to specialize in street pop music and learned from artists such as Olamide, Dagrin, Naira Marley and Lil Kesh. He began visiting nearby recording studios and producing music that blended Yoruba and Pidgin.
He released several songs which performed well locally but did not gain the expected attention. In order to develop quickly, he started recording freestyle rap and singing videos and posted them on his social media channels. This decision proved to be the right one and he soon became popular on social media as most of his videos were frequently forwarded.
This move also helped him get a major breakthrough in the industry as he started receiving collaboration requests from both A-listers and emerging artistes in the industry. In December 2019, Mobade shot to fame after signing with Naira Marley’s newly formed Marlian Music Records.

In 2020, he thrilled his fans with yet another hit, the party jam “Balan Zia Gar”. As soon as the song was released, it became the song of choice at clubs and parties across the country.
Between 2019 and 2022, Mohbad released hit singles such as “Real Hustlers”, “Balan Zia Gar”, “Ronaldo”, “Jaabo”, “See My Bounzer”, “Fire”, “Oja”, “Adura” and “Owaale”.
Mohbad is said to have developed a keen interest in music at an early age, mainly composing rap songs. He continued to grow in music while also realizing the importance of being versatile as a Nigerian rapper due to the fierce competition in the industry.
Since it is a trademark trend that as a Nigerian rapper, you must know how to sing unless you don’t want to make a fortune compared to most Nigerian rappers, Mohbad Oba Imole has not failed as he has not only dabbled in the singing aspect of music but has also perfected his vocals.
While releasing a string of songs, the 28-year-old musician Mohbad also bagged a major contract when he was invited by Naira Marley to join Marlian Records alongside Zinoleesky, Fabian Blu and C Blvck. This was his major breakthrough deal since entering the industry.
Mohbad is currently signed to Marlian Records and has released his first official single “Koma Jensun” featuring his record label boss Naira Marley, the video of which is doing well on the charts.
