Popular Nigerian singer, Oludipe Oluwasanmi David, professionally known as Spyro has called out singer Davido’s close associate, Ubi Franklin over an unpaid debt of $5k (approx N9 million).
The singer made this known during his recent interview with Echo Room when he opened up about his issues with Ubi Franklin.
According to the ‘Stand by You’ Crooner, Ubi Franklin scammed him by using Davido’s name to make him perform for $5k at singer Iyanya’s birthday, which took place in Ghana.
Spyro revealed that when he expressed his concerns about the payment for the show, Ubi quickly handed him the microphone as the MC announced his performance on stage.
Spyro shared that after being persuaded to perform, he immediately confronted Ubi about his payment. The talent manager then advised him not to inform Davido, revealing that the 30BG boss had not instructed him to perform.
He however, claimed that Ubi Franklin scammed him in broad daylight. Spyro claims that Franklin has only repaid N3 million, leaving an outstanding balance of N6 million.
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!”
