The incident comes weeks after the singer publicly addressed controversies surrounding the death of his former signee, Mohbad.
Mohbad died on September 12, 2023, in Lagos at the age of 27, a tragedy that triggered the #Justice4MohBad movement.
The movement saw many Nigerians demanding accountability over the circumstances of his death.
