Talent manager, Ubi Franklin shares his side of story as he reacts to allegations of stealing a luxury wrist watch from a famous jeweler.
Recall that an allegation had made the rounds claiming that Ubi Franklin had stolen a watch from Benny the Jeweler.
In a statement he released, he noted that the Jeweler had tried to sell him a watch which he turned down since he didn’t want any complications that could result from its previous ownership.
However, the Benny the Jeweler had sent another watch to him via his brother which he paid for in full.
He noted that given the busy circumstance, he was in possession of the two watches and not until he was later reached out to by Benny while airborne did he realize that he was still in possession of the other watch.
Ubi Franklin maintained that he is not a thief and has never stolen from anyone in his life.
Davido reacted to this by noting that Ubi owes no one an explanation.
The talent manager wrote …
“IMPORTANT.
I am currently aware of the recent circulation on social media linking my name to an alleged theft. I wish to make it clear that these allegations are completely false and misleading.
Recently, I returned from my dear Friend/sister’s wedding and I am currently preparing for my sister’s funeral this coming weekend. It is an extremely difficult and sensitive time for me and my family, but I feel it is important to address this matter directly.
While in Miami, Benny met me and offered to sell me a wristwatch. After reviewing the item and confirming its previous ownership, I decided not to purchase it in order to avoid any potential complications. I clearly communicated that him.
During the wedding church service, Benny sent his brother with another wristwatch to me .that which I had purchased and paid in full.
Given the busy circumstances surrounding the wedding, I was in possession of both wristwatches and wore the one he sent to me through his brother.
After the wedding, I had to leave Miami immediately to finialize my sister’s funeral coming up this weekend. While airborne, I was contacted by Benny regarding the other wristwatch.
I want to state clearly: I am not a thief. I have never stolen from anyone in my life. I purchased a wristwatch and paid in full from Benny.
Benny had earlier in the day debunked this news and yet it still kept spreading.
I appreciate the calls and messages🙏🏿
This is my final word on this.”
