Quests Times recalls that Larry had come under fire on social media after videos surfaced of him and some touts harassing Mohbad.
In one of the videos, Mohbad and Zlatan were on set for a music video when Sam Larry and some boys stormed the scene, with Mohbad being forced to run away.
The videos sparked outrage on social media, with many people accusing Larry of bullying and threatening Mohbad.
It is unclear what role he is alleged to have played in the singer’s death, but information reaching Quest Times is that he is cooperating with the investigation.
