Nigerian singer Spyro accuses music executive Ubi Franklin of using Davido's name to deceive him into performing without proper compensation. The dispute has escalated into a public battle on social media, dividing fans and industry insiders.
A public feud has erupted in the Nigerian music industry involving singer Spyro , music executive Ubi Franklin , and Paul Okoye (Rudeboy). Spyro accused Ubi Franklin of using Davido 's name to deceive him into performing at a birthday party without proper compensation. Spyro claimed that Ubi promised him $5,000 for the performance, falsely stating it was Davido 's request. He alleged that after performing, Ubi admitted it wasn't Davido who organized the event.
Spyro took to social media, sharing screenshots of conversations with Ubi to support his claims. The messages revealed months of reminders to Ubi about the $5,000 payment. In response, Ubi denied Spyro's accusations, stating that Spyro owes him ₦10.5 million as a 10% commission for facilitating the purchase of a car worth ₦105 million. Ubi claimed he withheld the $5,000 as leverage until Spyro paid his alleged debt. The dispute escalated into a public battle on social media, with both parties making accusations and sharing evidence. Spyro insisted that he would not relent until Ubi was held accountable, vowing to continue calling him out publicly. The situation has divided fans and industry insiders, with some supporting Spyro's demands for transparency and fair payment while others criticize him for airing grievances publicly.
