A bitter feud has erupted between music executive Ubi Franklin and singer Kizz Daniel over an alleged N15 million dispute.
According to popular blogger Cutie Juls, the trouble began when Ubi Franklin secured a lucrative N150 million gig for Kizz Daniel in Nigeria. Initially, both parties agreed that Ubi would receive a 10% commission, amounting to N15 million.
However, things took a turn when Ubi Franklin deducted his share and sent N135 million to Kizz Daniel. The singer, reportedly unhappy with the arrangement, demanded the full amount. He threaten to pull out of the show if his demands weren’t met. Ubi Franklin reluctantly paid the entire N150 million to Kizz Daniel, only to receive N7.5 million (5% of the total amount) instead of the agreed-upon N15 million.
Furthermore, the disagreement escalated into a heated argument, with both parties using harsh words and eventually blocking each other on social media. Ubi Franklin unfollowed Kizz Daniel on Instagram, prompting the singer to retaliate by blocking Ubi Franklin. Therefore, the once-cordial relationship between the two music industry professionals has now turned sour, leaving fans and colleagues stunned.
Additionly, the crux of the dispute lies in the differing accounts of the agreement. While Ubi Franklin claims a 10% commission was agreed upon, Kizz Daniel insists that the initial agreement was between Ubi and his brother, not him, and that he only offered Ubi 5% as a gesture of goodwill.
Lastly, as the dust settles, it remains to be seen if the two can resolve their differences and put this unpleasant episode behind them.
