Sam Larry Faces Fresh Backlash After Posting Cryptic TikTok Video Amid Mohbad Case
Embattled socialite Sam Larry, whose real name is Samson Erinfolami Balogun, is once again under fire after sharing a controversial TikTok video—reigniting public anger amid the ongoing controversy surrounding the late singer Mohbad. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
Sam Larry, who has remained a polarizing figure since Mohbad’s death in 2023, recently became a trending topic again after activist Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), revisited the circumstances around the singer’s demise. VDM’s renewed interest in the case led to the resurfacing of old videos, chats, and allegations involving key figures such as Naira Marley and Sam Larry himself.
Controversial Video Sparks Public Outrage
In the midst of mounting public scrutiny and online criticism, Sam Larry posted a now-viral TikTok video where he is seen dancing and singing along to a track by gospel singer Yinka Ayefele. The lyrics of the song suggest that everyone carries their own burdens and urge people not to compound others’ problems. It also warns against bringing up someone’s past as a weapon.
What caught viewers’ attention, however, was not just the song choice, but Sam Larry’s pointed hand gesture, seemingly aimed at critics and social media observers. He subtly gestured that he was “watching” — a move that many interpreted as a veiled threat or warning.
Fans React: “Not the Right Time for Games”
The backlash was swift. Many fans and critics flooded the comment sections, condemning the video as insensitive, especially considering the unresolved questions surrounding Mohbad’s death and Sam Larry’s alleged involvement in past confrontations with the late artist.
“This is not the time for jokes or cryptic messages,” one user commented.
“You should be clearing your name, not playing games,” another added.
Others expressed disappointment, urging him to take accountability or at least show remorse, rather than mocking public sentiment.
Still Under Public Scrutiny
Despite his denials, Sam Larry continues to face public suspicion. Many Nigerians have refused to move on, insisting that the truth about what happened to Mohbad must come to light. With VDM’s fresh advocacy efforts and increased online attention, the pressure on Sam Larry appears far from over.
