A dramatic scene unfolded at Naira Marley’s concert in Cotonou, Benin Republic, on September 7, 2025, when a fan suddenly stormed the stage, attempting to attack the singer. The incident was captured on video, showing the Marlian Music boss performing when the man rushed at him. Security personnel quickly intervened, overpowering the intruder and dragging him away as the show continued.

The attack comes weeks after Naira Marley publicly addressed controversies surrounding the death of his former signee, Mohbad, who died on September 12, 2023, at the age of 27. Mohbad’s death triggered the #Justice4MohBad movement, with many Nigerians demanding accountability over the circumstances of his death.

Naira Marley responded to the incident in a lighthearted manner, reposting a clip of the attack on his X page with the caption: “The moment I got attacked on stage, see baba oniru re”.
