Nigerian singer Oludipe David, aka Spyro, has accused singer David ‘Davido’ Adeleke’s associate, Ubi Franklin, of scamming him.
Just recently, the Who’s Your Guy crooner was a guest on The Link Up podcast when he opened up about his issues with Ubi Franklin.
According to Spyro, Ubi used Davido’s name to get him to perform at an event with the claim that OBO was going to pay.
Spyro said that when he raised his concerns about the payment aspect of the show, Ubi just rushed to him and gave him the microphone while the MC announced that he was coming on the stage to perform.
After he was eventually roped into the performance, Spyro said that he immediately questioned Ubi about his payment and the talent manager told him not to tell Davido about it because the 30BG boss was actually not the one who told him to perform. The Christian singer said he was practically scammed in broad daylight by Ubi Franklin.
In his words: “I have an issue with Ubi Franklin. Ubi just came down and said David said we should come perform at the birthday party that he was invited to that he was going to give us 5k. I called him to the side and said ‘bro first of all, I don’t charge 5k.’ My Nigerian currency wey I dey charge, the least I would do is N20 million. On getting there, David was on stage, he came back from the stage and Ubi just came to me, he said ‘you’re going on the stage now’ before you know it, MC don announce, Spyro! And right after, I said okay Ubi, shebi you don sha make me, I don perform now, where my money wey you say David say him go give us? He said ‘no don’t go and buzz David o, he’s not the one actually, let me tell you the truth, he’s not the one that said you guys should come and do the show’. I was like are you kidding me? So David doesn’t even know anything about this, so you just used David’s name, this is broad daylight scam bro!”
Spyro’s claims about Ubi Franklin raised a series of reactions from netizens. Several of them noted that it was not the talent manager’s first time and some of them even called on VeryDarkMan. Others also suggested that Davido keep his distance from Ubi because he was ruining his reputation. Read some of their comments below:
