    Tacha attacked me online because I didn’t help her get into BBNaija house – Ubi Franklin

    Record label boss, Ubi Franklin has said reality Tv star Tacha, attacked him on social media for not helping her get a place at BBNaija.
    Ubi made this known during an Instagram live chat with the winner of the last edition of Big Brother Naija, Mercy Eke.
    ”Let me tell you something and I’ll tell you on this live chat. And I pray I get the contact of whoever is managing Tacha to bring her to this show. Before Tacha went to Big Brother, one person I never wanted to see on Big Brother was Tacha,” he said.
    “The reason is that she went on Big Brother, she was on her page every day. I didn’t know her and had never met her from anywhere. I felt really hurt. One day somebody sent me her page and was like this girl is always abusing you, who is this? I now checked.
    “Why was Tacha abusing me…she was abusing me because she sent me a DM asking me that she wanted to Big Brother and I told her that I didn’t have links to take to Big Brother and after I said that, she attacked me”.

     

    His revelation has triggered flood of comments from Tacha’s fans.

  • Ubi slapping me is a blessing in disguise- Omini Aho

    Ubi slapping me is a blessing in disguise- Omini Aho

    Nigerian comedian, Omini Aho earlier this week called out Ubi Franklin over slapping him after he shared a joke targeted at him(Ubi) at a recent comedy show.

    Few minutes later, Omini pulled down the Instagram post, appreciating Ubi for supporting his forthcoming show. Many of his fans on Instagram were stunned at his instant change of demeanor.

    In a chat with IndependentNg, Omini said the slap is a blessing in disguise.

    According to him: “It actually happened on the 20th of October, it was not a publicity stunt. He slapped me because of a joke I said on stage. Interestingly, Ubi wasn’t even there when I said the joke, I think someone who was on his table narrated the joke to him

    “He came to meet me at the back stage while I was still very busy directing Acapella’s performance; he came to me and expressed his anger over the joke the next thing that happened was that he slapped me. I was even trying to retaliate but people stopped me and I didn’t see him again. I was very angry that day, I had to narrate the ugly incident on my social media page. After this, some other people in the entertainment industry called me to take the post down but I refused. Eventually, Ubi called me himself and apologised. He mentioned that it was someone who was on his table that told him about the joke; he got angry without even hearing my side of the story. He didn’t understand the context in which I told the joke. When I explained the joke to him, he apologised and admitted that he took the wrong decision. I could have taken it up legally, but my attention is on my upcoming show and I don’t want to be distracted. I have forgiven him, we are cool; he is like a brother to me. I am a comedian and I always try to take advantage of every moment to generate humour.”

    “Ubi told me he admires me and offered to support my show; he sent me some money so I decided to use it to give people free tickets to my show. On a normal day, if I wasn’t having my comedy show tagged ‘No hate speech’ in November; I wouldn’t have let it slide. I told one of my colleagues that if Ubi didn’t call me, it’s either I beat him up the next time I see him or he would do a public apology. It is not about money, what if I take it up legally and the case gets adjourned to the proposed date of my show? I had to be rational about it; it wasn’t money that stopped me from taking up the case. What if I beat Ubi Franklin and he faints, that may get me into more trouble. This was the best option for me; I decided to use the opportunity to promote my show. I even see it as a blessing in disguise. Some lawyers were ready to take up the case; it is a case of assault. Ubi is lucky that it happened at a time when I am focused on making my show a successful one. It is my first comedy show ever. I would definitely crack jokes about this whole saga on my show.”

    Ubi Franklin slapped me over sharing joke about him- Ominiaho

    Nigerian comedian and actor, Ominiaho has called out music executive , Ubi Franklin over slapping him at Acapella’s comedy show last night.

    Omini noted that he shared a joke about him at the event and Franklin who was dissatisfied about the joke slapped him backstage.

    According to Omini:” The job of a comedian is to find humor in every situation and put it out for the audience, I did a joke yesterday and Ubi came backstage and jacked me, I was trying to be calm because i didn’t want to disrupt Acapella’s show, the next thing was a slap (Gbosa).

    As I wan retaliate Na so bouncer hold us, I think Ubi don bribe the bouncer, I have nothing personal about Ubi before then but now, I have everything personal against him, the truth is that the JOKE is always on something or someone, no comedian goes out with the intention of hurting anyone, the aim is to generate laughter but Ubi has shown that his mind is quick to anger as his ejaculation.

    If we want to go by Ubi’s way, Tubaba would have killed almost every comedian, Donald Trump would have killed almost every comedian, especially in America, open your mind, it’s just a joke”.

    Ubi Franklin has however not reacted over the allegation as at the time of filing this report.

    TheNewsGuru recalls that the ex-husband of Lilian Esoro said divorce can sometimes be the best option in marriage.

    According to him: “I am proud of many things in my life but nothing beats being a dad to these two wonderful souls,” he captioned a picture of his two children, Jayden and Zaneta.

    “We often talk about what goes into a marriage, but seldom we openly discuss what happens when it ends. The journey of love has a unique language.

    “We all strive to find people capable of understanding that unique language, our intricacies and in turn understanding their complexities.

    “No one ever plans or expects to get a divorce when they get married, but sometimes it’s the only and the best way forward for everyone involved.”

     

    Franklin got married to Esoro in November 2015 and the duo welcomed their son in 2016.

    The duo parted ways not long after the birth of their son.

     

     

  • I am not responsible for TBoss’ pregnancy- Ubi Franklin declares

    Music executive, Ubi Franklin has denied widespread speculations that he is responsible for TBoss’ pregnancy.
    Ubi made this known in an interview with Daddy Freeze on his YouTube channel.
    According to him, he doesn’t even know where TBoss resides in Abuja.
    “I can tell you this, I never asked TBoss out, I have never done anything with her, you know, I don’t even know where she lives. I’m not responsible for her pregnancy. I have never in my life gone to her house…you can ask her, I don’t even know her house. And she is this kind of person that she does not like to disturb people.
    “I can be in Abuja and she would know I am in Abuja and she will not even call me. Maybe if there is work that she needs to do, she would do it and then she goes. We need to correct this perception that if you are working with a girl that means you are doing something with the girl,”he said.

    “Let me just swear to you guys today, me and Ubi we have had nothing intimate when I say…we have haven’t as much as kiss…never…no,” she said

  • You divorce case is invalid- Judge reportedly tells Ubi Franklin, Lilian Esoro

    Social media has been awash with unconfirmed reports that the judge presiding over Ubi Franklin and Lilian Esoro’s divorce case, has reportedly declared that their marriage cannot be dissolved.
    The judge while sitting at an Ikeja High Court ruled on the basis that their divorce is invalid since Lilian testified that Ubi provides for their son and they are still very good friends.
    The report further stated that the judge told them to go and settle their differences amicably, adding that they are only seeking divorce due to childishness.

    MC Galaxy gives Ubi Franklin N3million for helping with N100k for house rent years ago

    Singer MC Galaxy has given music executive Ubi Franklin the sum of N3million for helping him out with N100k when he needed to pay house rent years back.

    According to MC Galaxy, the sum is not enough to be called a repayment for the favor Ubi Franklin did for him which was something he appreciates a lot.

    He shared a picture of a check of N3million with the below quote.

    “This life is funny, seven years ago I needed help to pay house the total I needed was 350k. So I asked a lot people for help, and no one could help me, so one of those days I went to Ubi Franklin house that I needed help with rent and he gave me 100k and cloths and I was able to hustle money to add and pay my rent, because at the time 100k then meant a lot to me it was 10 million Naira to me, so every time I had a new song to drop I will go to him and play for him “ I go Calabar” to “Sekem” etc. So I know I cannot pay him back for the favors and values but this is a token of appreciation to say thank you for everything @ubifranklintriplemg”
