Chioma Adeleke, the wife of renowned Afrobeats artist David Adeleke, commonly referred to as Davido, has recently become the subject of widespread speculation regarding her professional association with her long-time manager, Ubi Franklin.

However, recent developments have raised concerns about his reputation, leading to heightened scrutiny from both fans and critics.
Ubi Franklin has faced allegations from various public figures regarding questionable conduct, with accusations ranging from unpaid debts to unmet contractual commitments.
Among those making accusations is the vocal Nigerian activist, Verydarkman, who recently alleged that Ubi defrauded an individual of an astonishing 10 million naira. The situation escalated when popular artist Spyro disclosed in an interview that Ubi owed him $5,000, a claim that Ubi subsequently denied in a follow-up statement.
Further complicating matters, singer Joe-El also accused Ubi Franklin of breaching a financial agreement by withholding 10% of their earnings from a joint performance in Plateau State.

Many devoted fans of the music star have voiced their concerns regarding Ubi’s close association with the Adeleke family, suggesting that his controversies could negatively impact their esteemed standing.
Tensions escalated when popular blogger Cutie Juls, known for her purported insider insights into Davido’s 30BG camp, claimed that Chioma had terminated her relationship with Ubi Franklin by dismissing him as her manager.
