Mr. Franklin, a former artist manager, made this clarification in response to a social media user’s comment referring to him as a personal assistant to Davido and his wife.
Ubi Franklin emphasized that he serves as a business administrator and that the Afrobeat singer refers to him as a solutionist.
He wrote, “Ubi is the CEO of Mademusicg, and if you see me working for Davido, it’s because I have the required qualifications and experience to do the job of a business administrator.
“David calls me #thesolutionist, do with that what you want. Definitely not his PA or nanny like most of you have tried to taunt me with. If that makes you happy, so be it. I am on the business end, and that’s where I’ll always be.”
On March 30, 2022, Nigerian artist Timaya made a reference to Ubi as Davido’s employed nanny in a tweet.
Later, in October 2023, while they were traveling together on a private jet, Davido playfully referred to Ubi as a nanny.
