Music executive Ubi Franklin has publicly denied reports alleging he was involved in a physical altercation with nightlife mogul Cubana Chief Priest at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel in Abuja.
Rumors began spreading on Friday across social media and blogs, claiming the two had a heated confrontation that escalated into a fistfight during a high-profile event at the luxury hotel. One eyewitness, cited by multiple online platforms, described the scene as involving “heavy blows not meant for the faint-hearted,” attracting a large crowd.
Reported Cause of the Alleged Clash
According to investigative journalist Stella Dimoko-Korkus, the conflict allegedly stemmed from Cubana Chief Priest’s dissatisfaction with Ubi Franklin’s close ties to music superstar Davido. The report further claimed that Ubi’s eagerness to receive an invitation to Davido and Chioma’s upcoming white wedding in Miami may have fueled tensions between the two public figures.
Ubi Franklin Responds
In response to the viral reports, Ubi Franklin took to his Instagram Story—in a post that has since been deleted—to dismiss the allegations, questioning both the accuracy of the reports and the credibility of those spreading them.
“Anyone who believes this story, especially the narrative on Instablog written by a blogger in an attempt for relevance, is a f**l lol,” he wrote.
Silence from Cubana Chief Priest
As of the time of this report, Cubana Chief Priest has not issued any public statement addressing the incident, leaving fans and onlookers speculating about the authenticity of the claims.
