Afrobeats superstar Davido has come to the defence of his close friend and associate, talent manager Ubi Franklin, amid swirling allegations that Franklin stole a luxury watch during Davido’s lavish wedding celebration in Miami over the weekend.
The controversy began when a blog post on Wednesday claimed that Franklin had been involved in the alleged theft. The report quickly spread across social media, sparking heated discussions among fans and critics.
Wasting no time, Ubi took to his X account to firmly shut down the claims, describing the report as “false and misleading.” His statement aimed to put an end to what he called baseless rumours that could tarnish his reputation.
Reacting to the unfolding drama, Davido made it clear that he was standing firmly behind his friend. The singer dismissed the need for Franklin to defend himself against what he sees as ridiculous allegations.
In his words: “You owe nobody any explanation… fools.”
Davido’s blunt response has since gained traction online, with fans applauding him for showing loyalty to his inner circle while others continued to debate the origins of the rumour.
The Miami wedding, which brought together celebrities, friends, and family, had been a weekend of glitz, glamour, and viral moments until the watch theft allegations added an unexpected twist to the celebrations.
