Media personality Ubi Franklin has refuted allegations linking him to the theft of a wristwatch during Davido and Chioma’s wedding in Miami, calling the claims baseless and misleading.
In a statement posted on his X account, the talent manager explained that while in Miami, jeweler Benny approached him with an offer to sell a wristwatch. After confirming who previously owned it, Franklin said he declined the deal to avoid potential issues.
According to him, during the wedding ceremony, Benny later sent a different wristwatch through his brother, which Franklin purchased and fully paid for. Due to the hectic nature of the celebration, he briefly held both timepieces and opted to wear the one he had bought.
“While flying back to Nigeria to conclude arrangements for my sister’s funeral, Benny reached out about the other wristwatch. Let me be clear: I am not a thief. I have never stolen from anyone. I bought a watch and paid in full,” Franklin wrote.
He noted that Benny himself had earlier dismissed the story, yet the rumors continued to circulate. Franklin stressed that this would be his final comment on the matter and expressed gratitude to friends and well-wishers for their support during what he described as a deeply emotional period for his family.
Davido has also publicly defended Franklin, vouching for his integrity and confirming that no wrongdoing occurred.
