Celebrity show promoter Sam Larry has been discharged from the hospital after surviving a tragic car accident in Lagos.
The socialite was admitted for treatment after being involved in a fatal crash that reportedly claimed the life of his bouncer.
Following the incident, rumours circulated widely on social media alleging that Sam Larry was in a coma. The claims sparked mixed reactions, with some Nigerians linking the accident to his alleged involvement in the circumstances surrounding the death of late singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba (Mohbad), while others expressed concern over his condition.
However, those rumours were dispelled on Friday evening after Sam Larry appeared in a video call with Fuji musician Sulaimon Alao Adekunle Malaika, who was performing at an event.
In another video that later surfaced online, the show promoter was seen celebrating with friends and associates. He also lifted both legs in the footage, seemingly dismissing speculation that one of his legs had been amputated following the accident.
Sam Larry has remained a controversial figure since the death of late singer Ilerioluwa Aloba (Mohbad)> in September 2023. The show promoter came under intense public scrutiny after videos surfaced online showing him confronting Mohbad before the singer’s death. The footage fueled widespread allegations of harassment and prompted calls for his arrest.
In the wake of the public outrage, Sam Larry was invited and questioned by the police as part of the investigation into Mohbad’s death. Although he denied any involvement in the singer’s demise, the controversy significantly affected his public image, with many Nigerians continuing to associate him with the case. The investigation into the circumstances surrounding Mohbad’s death has remained a subject of national interest, with fans and supporters still demanding justice.
Against that backdrop, news of Sam Larry’s recent car accident quickly generated widespread reactions on social media. Reports that he had been hospitalised—and later rumours claiming he was in a coma or had lost a leg—sparked fresh debate online, with many users referencing the unresolved controversy surrounding Mohbad. However, videos that later emerged showing him celebrating after his discharge from hospital appeared to put those rumours to rest.
