Chioma Adeleke has reportedly terminated her professional relationship with talent manager Ubi Franklin.
This development comes in the wake of mounting allegations against Franklin, casting a shadow over his credibility and professional conduct.
Franklin has been embroiled in a series of public disputes. Accusations ranging from unpaid debts to unfulfilled contracts have emerged from various quarters, including outspoken social media crusader Verydarkman, singers Spyro and Joe-El, and other critics.
Among the most damning claims is an allegation by Verydarkman that Franklin defrauded an individual of ₦10 million. Spyro, during a recent interview, accused Franklin of failing to pay a $5,000 debt—a claim Franklin later refuted. Similarly, Joe-El accused him of withholding 10% of earnings from a collaborative performance in Plateau State.
These controversies have drawn sharp criticism, with fans of Davido expressing concern over Franklin’s close ties to the Adeleke family. Many fear his tarnished reputation could impact the family's public image.
Speculation about Chioma Adeleke’s decision to sever ties with Franklin gained traction after popular blogger Cutie Juls hinted at the development. Known for her alleged insider access to Davido’s 30BG camp, the blogger shared:
“From what I’m hearing, it seems Ubi Franklin has been officially laid off as Chioma Adeleke’s manager.”
Although the claims remain unverified, the news has sparked significant debate across social media. Supporters applauded Chioma for reportedly distancing herself from Franklin, with many commending her for safeguarding her personal and professional image.
Ubi Franklin has long been recognized for his management expertise and close association with the Adelekes. Over the years, he played a pivotal role in managing Chioma’s budding career and personal engagements. However, the recent wave of allegations threatens to undermine years of professional achievement.
As the story continues to unfold, neither Chioma Adeleke nor Ubi Franklin has issued an official statement regarding the alleged dismissal. Nonetheless, the situation underscores the challenges faced by public figures navigating professional partnerships under intense scrutiny.
This latest chapter adds to the growing list of challenges confronting Franklin, leaving many to question what the future holds for the embattled talent manager.
