No bad songs but plenty of bad character - Nigerians fire Kizz Daniel over failed agreement with Ubi Franklin

Music executive, Ubi Franklin and singer Kizz Daniel are reportedly at logger heads over an alleged N15 million disagreement.

According to popular blogger, Cutie Juls on Instagram, Ubi Franklin secured a gig worth N150 million for Kizz Daniel.

It was reported that an initial agreement was made between the two, with Ubi entitled to ten per cent of the money which amounts to N15 million.

When the money was paid, Ubi deducted his percentage and sent the remaining N135 million to Kizz Daniel.

Unhappy with this, Kizz demanded that the entire amount be sent to him, threatening not to attend the show otherwise.

After several back-and-forths, Ubi complied and sent the full N150 million to Kizz Daniel. However, Kizz returned five percent, which is N7.5 million, claiming that he never agreed to pay the initial ten percent.

Cutie Juls wrote: “Apparently, Ubi got Kizz Daniel a N150 million gig in Nigeria and initially Kizz agreed to pay Ubi 10% which is N15 million. So since Ubi got the deal with with MMM label, he took out N15 million and sent the N135 million to Kizz Daniel’s account [ @lagosstategovt hope you people have taken your tax.].

“Now, Kizz Daniel upon receiving the alert said no, Ubi has to pay the whole sum to him so he can account properly then he would now pay Ubi’s cut as an expense maybe for tax purposes.

“Initially, Ubi refused and then Kizz Daniel said unless the whole N150 million is paid into his account, he won’t go for the show.

“So Ubi then had to succumb and pay the N150 million to Kizz. When Kizz received the money, instead of N15 million, Kizz sent 7.5 million to Ubi.

“When Ubi asked Kizz for the rest of the money, Kizz Daniel told Ubi that the 10% commission was an agreement between Ubi and his [Kizz D] brother and not him. And that he will only offer Ubi 5% which is the N7.5 he had sent him.

“This created a huge argument and Ubi even wanted to take legal actions.

“They used unprinted words on each other and then Kizz Daniel blocked all Ubi’s phone numbers from his phone. Ubi then returned the favour and unfollowed Kizz Daniel on IG.

“Kizz Daniel upon seeing it went ahead and blocked Ubi on IG.”

Nigerians upon hearing this slammed Kizz Daniel, calling him greedy and noting his bad character.

Below are some reactions.

hadizabubakar_: If kizz knew he wasn’t ok with the 10% ish, why not turn down the entire deal? 7.5m out of 150m? That’s greed.. kizz no try.. no bad songs but plenty bad character.

florencegabriel1281: Kizz Daniel we all know that in the media usually it is 15% but since the person that negotiated with ubi brought it down to 10% why not pay him his fees a whole 150 million na wa o

toniafamilytv: Kizz should pay Ubi biko… You see the reason why people do not trust anymore

nubianqueen0001: Well, Kizz should think of the future, this attitude may make him lose future deals, no one wants to deal with people who don’t follow agreements.

ideeeee_sam: This is 2024, every contract should be binded legally and appended signatures to avoid stories like this
