Chioma Adeleke, the wife of renowned Afrobeats artist Davido, has reportedly severed ties with her longtime manager, Ubi Franklin. This development comes amid a series of controversies surrounding Ubi Franklin’s professional conduct.
Ubi Franklin, a well-known talent manager, has been instrumental in managing Chioma Adeleke’s personal and professional projects. However, recent allegations of questionable conduct, including unpaid debts and unmet contractual commitments, have tarnished his reputation.
The controversy escalated when popular artist Spyro disclosed in an interview that Ubi Franklin owed him $5,000, a claim that Ubi Franklin subsequently denied. Further allegations were made by singer Joe-El, who accused Ubi Franklin of breaching a financial agreement by withholding 10% of their earnings from a joint performance in Plateau State.
The reported decision by Chioma Adeleke to sack Ubi Franklin as her manager has sparked a mixed reaction on social media. While some fans have commended Chioma for distancing herself from Ubi Franklin’s controversies, others have expressed skepticism about the report’s accuracy.
Popular blogger Cutie Juls, known for her purported insider insights into Davido’s 30BG camp, claimed that Chioma had terminated her relationship with Ubi Franklin. Cutie Juls wrote:
“From what I’m hearing, it seems Ubi Franklin has been officially laid off as Chioma Adeleke’s manager.”
