The ongoing feud between music executive Ubi Franklin and singer Spyro has taken a dramatic turn as artist Joe El steps into the ring with fresh accusations. The controversy, which began on Wednesday over a $5,000 debt and deal share, now has Joe El claiming that Franklin owes him a long-overdue 10% cut from a previous show.
Joe El, often noted for his striking resemblance to music legend 2Baba, alleges that Franklin conveniently “forgot” to honor his share after arranging a highly lucrative show in Jos, Plateau State. Adding fuel to the fire, Joe El called Franklin out for his double standards. In a sharp social media post, he wrote: “You don’t joke with your 10%, but when I gave you and Iyanya a show worth millions in Jos, you ignored me and hung up. We’re watching some of you.”
The drama originally kicked off when Franklin and Spyro began airing grievances about money matters online. Spyro accused Franklin of owing him $5,000, while Franklin demanded a cut of a deal, escalating the spat into a public spectacle. Now, Joe El’s revelation adds a new layer to the saga, making this a multi-sided showdown.
In a bid to clear the air, both Franklin and Spyro have resorted to sharing private WhatsApp chats on social media, turning the dispute into even more of a spectacle for fans and industry watchers. While everyone waits to see how this unfolds, one thing is certain: Ubi Franklin’s 10% mantra is coming back to haunt him in more ways than one.
Stay tuned—this saga is far from over!
