In the lengthy video, the social media activist explained how Ubi Franklin collected a total of N10.5 million from an upcoming artist with claims that he would get him a music feature with Davido.
According to Very Dark Man, Ubi, who is supposed to be a top person in the Nigerian entertainment scene, is engaging in fraudulent activities. He said:
PAY ATTENTION: Сheck out news that is picked exactly for YOU ➡️ find the “Recommended for you” block on the home page and enjoy!
“Ubi Franklin you’re supposed to be a senior man in this entertainment industry but as of now, you are a thief and what do they do to thieves? They expose them so that other people won’t become victims.”
Speaking further, VDM noted that it was very embarrassing how the people in Davido’s team used the DMW boss’ name to extort people and take advantage of others.
The activist explained that someone had reached out to Ubi about having an artist they wanted to promote, and he requested N2 million from them to show their seriousness. The talent manager convinced the upcoming singer’s team that he could get them a music feature with Davido but demanded N5 million first.
VDM noted that Ubi refused to deliver on his promises but continued to extort the upcoming singer with everything totaling the sum of N10.5 million. The social media activist shared screenshots of the transactions made by the musician to Ubi’s bank accounts.
According to the TikTok celeb, after Ubi collected monies from the upcoming musician with promises to get them US visas and a feature with Davido, he tried to make them work with Iyanya instead.
Very Dark Man said:
“It’s really embarrassing that you people go and use Davido’s name to extort people. Somebody wants to feature Davido and you’re collecting money on his behalf. Are you Davido’s manager? And that is how a lot of you have been able to take advantage of Davido.”
He also said:
“You’re obtaining under false pretense and you are a thief.”
The social media activist then gave Ubi an ultimatum of two days to return the money as he threatened to file a petition against him with the EFCC.
In the caption of the video VDM wrote:
“Ubi Franklin, you are a tiff, obtaining under false pretenses under the law is stealing,na all of una dey follow use Davido name dey scam people,I give you till 10pm if I no hear anything EFCC go pick you oooo @ubifranklinofficial jejely pay back because you can obviously not get Davido on a song so oya.”
