Before his passing, Mohbad was in court to retrieve the majority of his songs and unpaid royalties which were wrongfully held by Marlian Music.

We will continue the fight to retrieve his catalogue and unpaid royalties so that through these, those he left behind, especially his son, Liam Imole, will be provided for.

We want #JusticeforMohbad, and we will appreciate all the support we can get in this fight to retrieve his catalogue from Marlian Music, as this is the justice that Mohbad was working towards.

The management appreciated the outpouring of love from the general public following the passing of Mohbad.

Some fans also took to the comment section of the statement to pay their tributes to the late singer.

emini_kabex said, Chai!!! Every single minute I just silently pray and wish in my heart MOH should just pop up on live video and say he is just pranking us¦¦.

Also, harteezofficial wrote, JUSTICE FOR MOHBAD.
