In a raw moment that’s tugging at heartstrings across social media, fast-rising Afrobeats singer Fola broke down while reminiscing about his late friend Mohbad.
During a recent appearance on the podcast Is This Seat Taken?, host Chinasa Anukam asked Fola who he’d most want to “share a Coke with” if he could choose anyone.
Without hesitation, the singer’s voice cracked as he replied: “I would like to share a Coke with Mohbad. RIP to Mohbad, I can’t forget, he bought me my first iPhone. He bought me an iPhone 6 in 2019. I still miss him, and I still wanna share a Coke with him.”
That simple gift came at a pivotal time. Fola had just relocated from Ibadan to Lagos, hustling hard after years saving money at his father’s betting shop.
Mohbad, spotting the talent early, not only handed him the phone, a big deal for a struggling artist back then but also introduced him to Bella Shmurda.
That connection proved golden. The two later collaborated on the hit “Who Does That?” released in December 2024, which exploded into millions of streams and became one of Fola’s breakout tracks.
More than two years after Mohbad’s sudden passing in September 2023, stories like this keep resurfacing, painting a picture of a generous soul who lifted others long before his own fame peaked.
Fans are flooding timelines with tears and tributes, calling it a reminder of Mohbad’s real character, quietly supportive, far from the controversies that shadowed his final days.
In an industry often buzzing with drama, this heartfelt recall feels like a gentle nudge: some legacies are built not just on charts, but on unspoken acts of belief in someone else’s dream.
Fola’s emotional tribute has gone viral, proving Mohbad’s impact lingers strong.
