Sulaimon Solomon, known by his stage name Khaid, a Nigerian rapper and singer, has made a generous contribution of N2 million to support Liam Aloba, the son of the late Mohbad and Ilerioluwa Aloba.

Last Tuesday, Mohbad, who tragically passed away at the age of 27, had been signed to Naira Marley’s Marlian Records but left the label in February 2022.

Khaid shared his sentiments on Tuesday, stating, “It is with deep sorrow that I write this. The past few days have been an emotional rollercoaster for all of us.” He expressed this message through his X handle, mentioning the loss of a dear friend known as “Imole,” who possessed unique talent and a remarkable personality.

“In my own little way, I’ll love to support the family by giving N2 Million to the wife of our late brother and covey 100 royalties of the newly released tribute song “Forever” to Liam Aloba Eyinimofeoluwa. Rest On IMOLE,” he posted.
