Afrobeats superstar, Davido, has reacted to claims that his colleague, Spyro, got scammed by his associate, Ubi Franklin.
Naija News recalls that Spyro had accused Ubi Franklin of using Davido’s name to compel him to perform at a show. However, after the performance, he stated that Davido was not the one that invited him.
He claimed that Franklin refused to pay him after the event, despite agreeing to pay him $5,000 for the performance.
According to him,, “On getting there, David was on stage, he came back from the stage and Ubi just came to me, he said ‘you’re going on the stage now’ before you know it, MC don announce, Spyro! And right after, I said okay Ubi, shebi you don sha make me, I don perform now, where my money wey you say David say him go give us?
“He said ‘no don’t go and buzz David o, he’s not the one actually, let me tell you the truth, he’s not the one that said you guys should come and do the show’. I was like are you kidding me? So David doesn’t even know anything about this, so you just used David’s name, this is broad daylight scam bro!”
Responding to Spyro’s allegations, Franklin claimed he withheld the money because the singer also owed him some money.
The music executive claimed that Spyro was supposed to pay him 10 per cent for facilitating his recent car purchase.
He said he withheld the $5,000 as part of his payment from the car deal, stressing that the singer still owes him ₦2 million.
The accusation and counter-accusation elicited mixed reactions, with Davido also on the receiving end.
Reacting, Davido simply apologised for the involvement of his name in the saga.
Reposting a video of Ubi Franklin’s counter-accusation via his Instastory, Davido wrote “Pls, I’m sorry.”
