Davido’s Miami wedding took a sharp turn recently, as rumors of a stolen luxury watch began circulating on social media. At the center of the storm is music mogul Ubi Franklin, who has now come forward to share his side of the story and firmly deny the allegations.
In a candid statement, Franklin acknowledged the online chatter head-on, stating, “I am currently aware of the recent circulation on social media linking my name to an alleged theft.” He didn’t waste any time getting to the point, making it clear that he believes the entire narrative is baseless. “I wish to make it clear that these allegations are completely false and misleading,” he declared.
Ubi Franklin went on to provide a detailed account of the events involving a jeweler named Benny. He explained that he had already purchased and paid for a separate watch. The confusion, he claims, stemmed from the chaotic environment of the wedding itself.
Franklin clarified that he was offered a different watch to consider buying, but he declined after learning its history. A mix-up occurred when another timepiece—the one he actually purchased—was delivered to him. “Given the busy circumstances surrounding the wedding, I was in possession of both wristwatches and wore the one he sent to me through his brother,” he explained.
He also pointed out that he had “clearly communicated that to him,” referring to his decision not to purchase the initial watch.
Further compounding the issue was a personal tragedy. Franklin stated that this demanded his immediate attention, making it an “extremely difficult and sensitive time.” This explains his rapid departure from the event and the delay in returning the unpurchased watch.
Franklin closed his statement with a definitive and emotional plea to clear his name. “I want to state clearly: I am not a thief. I have never stolen from anyone in my life.” His words serve as a powerful defense against the online rumors. Franklin’s direct response aims to set the record straight once and for all.
