In a recent statement, music executive and businessman Ubi Franklin sought to clarify his professional relationship with Afrobeats superstar Davido, amidst comments on social media that labeled him as the artist’s personal assistant or nanny. Franklin emphasized that he serves as a business administrator, equipped with the necessary qualifications and experience to fulfill this role effectively.

Responding to an X user’s comment, Franklin explained, “David calls me #thesolutionist, do with that what you want. Definitely not his PA or nanny like most of you have tried to taunt me with.” He further asserted his position as the CEO of Mademusicg, reinforcing that his involvement with Davido is rooted in professional expertise rather than personal servitude.

The clarification comes at a time when public perception often blurs the lines between personal and professional relationships in the entertainment industry. Franklin’s statement serves to highlight the importance of recognizing the distinct roles individuals play within their professional environments.

In a related narrative, Davido recently shared insights on his upbringing and the profound influence of his father, Adedeji Adeleke, on his faith and resilience. In a podcast interview, the artist reflected on the lessons instilled in him about trusting in God, particularly during challenging times. He noted, “I overcame a lot of challenges because of my dad. Initially, I did not understand, but now I’ve come to the realization.”

Both Franklin’s and Davido’s statements underscore the significance of understanding one’s role and the foundational values that guide them in their respective journeys.
