Speaking at the event, Bella Shmurda said the first reaction of his mum when he spoke with her on the death of Moohbad was for him not to return to Nigeria immediately.
The artist, who started with a thank you message to those present, said: “I want to say thanks to everybody for coming out for this.
“God bless all of us and as Yorubas will say: ‘A o ni fi iru e san fun’ra wa (We won’t use such occasion as this to repay ourselves).’
“This person is my brother, my guy, he’s my best friend.
“It’s so sad when I left Nigeria like two days, three days later that I got a call that yo, Mohbad is dead, it was so funny.
“Even my mum had to call me, like: ‘Bella ma tio wa ile o. She duro o (Bella, don’t come home yet o. Just stay there).’
“But I understand what she’s saying.
“RIP Mohbad.
“God bless you wherever you are, even in your grave.
“I don’t know what to say.
“Just thank you everybody for coming.
“And justice for Mohbad.”
The crowd roared: “Justice for Mohbad.”
