How Ubi Franklin Used Davido’s Name To Scam Me Of $5k – Spyro

Singer Spyro has accused popular music executive Ubi Franklin of scamming him $5,000.
In an interview on the Echoroom podcast, the musician said he was deceived by Franklin into performing at a birthday party in Ghana under the guise of a request from Davido.
He claimed that Franklin refused to pay him after the event, despite agreeing to pay him $5,000 for the performance.
Expressing his disappointment and frustration over the incident, Spyro stated, “It was painful to be taken advantage of” despite Pastor Bolaji’s intervention in the matter.

“Ubi Franklin is one of those few people that I respected until recently. He called in the morning and said he was in Ghana for Iyanya’s birthday. I told him I would come.
“He told me when we got to the airport that there would be some performances at the party, but I told him no. Thankfully, I had Swavey with me. I told him I don’t do anything outside my manager. He also tried to persuade me.
“I met with Davido when we got there. It was at the time I wanted to release ‘Stand By You’. So, we left Davido’s place and went to our apartment. I was producing a song with Iyanya, and Ubi came and said Davido asked me to perform at the party and that he would give us $5k. I told him that the least I charge is N20 million. Secondly, I can’t leave my management. Since Davido said we were going to see each other later to do a promo for ‘Stand By You’, I told Ubi to let me get in touch with my management.

“Upon getting there, Davido was returning from the stage, and Ubi informed me that I was going on stage. At that point, I couldn’t decline because there were dignitaries there.
“After the performance, I asked Ubi for my money. He didn’t talk to me until we got to Lagos. Ubi just kept ignoring me. It was becoming a mess. He was taking me for a fool and told me not to call Davido because he didn’t ask him to have me perform. He also brought Pastor Bolaji into the matter.
“There has been no call or chat from Ubi. It’s painful because he goes around scamming people of their money. I’m saying this to protect other artists who may fall victim to this.”

Why I Married Mr Eazi – Temi Otedola

In an interview with the BBC on Wednesday, Temi described the singer as her best friend and the person she always wanted to spend her life with.
“He’s my best friend. He’s my person. And I think when you meet your person, you will know. I can’t imagine spending the rest of my life with anybody else. He’s the person that I’m excited and can’t wait to spend every day with, build our lives together, work through our ups and downs together, celebrate together, and solve problems together. He’s simply my person,” she said.

Temi, who recently updated her social media bio to reflect her husband’s surname, explained that taking on the name Ajibade was a personal decision.
“To be deeply honest with you, it’s not anything I had thought about before. Obviously, now that I’m a married woman, the obvious thing for me is to take my husband’s name. But it’s my personal choice. I respect everybody’s personal choice. It’s what I’m comfortable and happy doing, but I also respect a woman’s ability to choose,” she added.
She also spoke about her choice to keep her engagement and wedding private, saying it was about controlling her narrative.

“I think it’s more about owning your own narrative. There’s something about moving in silence that allows you to have control over things. It allows you to build the narrative you want, and you’re able to share when you feel ready to share and in the way you want to share it,” she said.
Temi, daughter of billionaire businessman Femi Otedola, admitted that her father influenced her outlook on life, but noted that he encouraged her and her sisters to chart their own paths instead of relying on his businesses.
She further acknowledged that coming from a privileged background gave her an advantage, but stressed that the real test was how one used such opportunities.
“You will never hear me say it doesn’t. I think it’s very important for people who are privileged to acknowledge that leg up they’ve gotten in life. Maybe the caveat is that you can give someone a leg up, but it’s what they do with it that matters,” she said.
