Media personality and talent manager Ubi Franklin recently took to Instagram to express his gratitude to singer Davido for an extravagant gift: a car worth approximately sixty-eight million Naira.
In his appreciation post, Ubi Franklin showed immense excitement, praising Davido for his generosity and declaring his love for the singer.
Ubi Franklin’s Instagram post was filled with heartfelt thanks, highlighting Davido’s supportive nature towards his team. Ubi’s caption read,
Davido just gifted me a car. Bro, thank you for everything. I love you. David just knows how to do what’s right for his people. I truly appreciate you.”
However, the news of the gift stirred up mixed reactions among netizens. While some praised Davido for his generosity, others criticized him for allegedly neglecting his responsibilities towards his daughter, Imade, with his first baby mama, Sophia Momodu. Critics pointed out that Davido should focus on paying Imade’s school fees and other expenses before lavishing gifts on his friends.
– Miss Chidel: “Wish he will still put this energy in taking care of his daughter.”
– Deetech Media Nig: “Hmm, the way this man waste money on irrelevant things eh. I hope he’s taking care of Imade.”
– Mysti Zinny: “And he can’t pay Imade school fees. Anyways congrats Ubi.”
– Pretyqueen Official: “But can’t afford N23 million for a year to accommodate his daughter. Make him shift one side.”
Despite the backlash, Ubi Franklin remained unfazed, continuing to show his support for Davido. Ubi Franklin, who has been rumored to have managed Chioma’s career during her active social media days, has been a constant presence in Davido’s life, even earning the nickname “Davido’s nanny” from netizens due to his enthusiastic support during Davido’s wedding.
Ubi Franklin isn’t the only one showing appreciation to Davido. Recently, Israel DMW, another member of Davido’s team, publicly thanked him after securing a ten-year U.K. visa, hinting at Davido’s involvement in the process.
Nollywood actor Uche Maduagwu also weighed in, criticizing Davido for gifting Ubi Franklin a car while allegedly failing to support his first baby mama financially. Maduagwu’s Instagram post read:
Davido, Charity begins at home. If you can give Ubi Wey no be your Family, 68 Million Naira car, then you suppose fit pay my Sophia Sophia, (Wey be MAMA of your First Pikin) 23 Million Naira house RENT. If you no fit, then you need ONIDUROMI #church PRAYERS.”
The controversy over Davido’s financial responsibilities comes amidst his ongoing custody battle with Sophia Momodu over their daughter, Imade. Sophia has accused Davido of neglecting his financial duties, including failing to pay for their daughter’s accommodation and school fees. Davido, on the other hand, has sought joint custody, claiming that Sophia has been denying him access to Imade and extorting money from him.
The lavish car gift from Davido to Ubi Franklin has sparked a heated debate on social media, with fans and critics alike weighing in on Davido’s priorities and responsibilities. While some celebrate his generosity, others call for him to focus on his obligations to his daughter, highlighting the complexities and pressures of celebrity life and public scrutiny.
