For Ubi Franklin, recent weeks have been nothing short of a public relations nightmare. The once-prominent talent manager has found himself engulfed in allegations of fraud and unprofessional conduct, with accusations piling up from several notable figures. And now, in what seems to be a significant blow to his professional career, Chioma Adeleke, wife of Afrobeats superstar Davido, has reportedly severed ties with Franklin as her manager.
Scandals That Shook Ubi Franklin’s Career
Ubi Franklin has been hit with a barrage of accusations, ranging from financial misconduct to contractual disputes. Nigerian social media activist Verydarkman recently accused Ubi of defrauding someone of a staggering ₦10 million. Adding fuel to the fire, artist Spyro revealed in an interview that Franklin owes him $5,000—an allegation Ubi publicly denied.
To make matters worse, singer Joe-El accused Ubi of withholding 10% of their earnings from a joint performance in Plateau State. These controversies have not only tarnished Franklin’s image but also sparked concern among Davido’s fans, who fear his proximity to the Adeleke family could reflect poorly on their reputation.
Chioma Reportedly Cuts Ties
Chioma Adeleke, who had entrusted Franklin with managing her budding career and personal endeavors, has reportedly fired him as her manager. Popular blogger Cutie Juls, known for insider scoops on Davido’s 30BG circle, claimed Chioma officially laid off Ubi following the string of controversies.
