Spyro, a Nigerian musician, has accused Ubi Franklin, a friend of singer David “Davido” Adeleke, of defrauding him.
The crooner of “Who is Your Guy” recently discussed his problems with Ubi Franklin during an appearance on The Link Up podcast.
He also shared his conversation with Ubi Franklin, in which he incessantly demanded payment for his money.
Spyro claims Ubi used Davido’s name to persuade him to perform at an event under the guise that OBO would cover the costs.
When Spyro voiced his concerns regarding the payment aspect of the show, Ubi simply hurried over and handed him the microphone as the MC announced that he would be performing.
When he was finally invited to perform, Spyro claimed that he asked Ubi right away about his compensation. The talent manager advised him not to tell Davido about it, as the 30BG boss had not really ordered 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!”
