Post created on 1:08 pm

On Wednesday Nigerian singer and songwriter, Inetimi Timaya Odon, aka Timaya, had a disagreement with music artists manager, Ubi Franklin, over a fight involving the duo, January 2021.

Timaya claimed he beat up Franklin during the encounter, but on the other hand, Franklin said he stood up to defend himself.

Timaya told Franklin on Wednesday morning to focus on his new career as a nanny to Davido’s son, Ifeanyi. And threatened to beat up Franklin, reminding him of the physical fight they both had in January 2021.

In a post on his Twitter handle Timaya wrote  “Ubi Franklin you remember the beating I gave you in January last year? Don’t let me beat you again, and please I like your new JOB. As Ifeanyi’s NANI and please don’t mess it up. Davido is a good guy he can make your life. Please focus on your new JOB. Thanks.”

Giving his account of what transpired during the 2021 encounter in a series of tweets, Franklin said he would provide the CCTV footage of what transpired during the fight.

He wrote, “I know because y’all see timaya act gangster you feel say him fit beat me No Wahala, I go find that CCTV footage from my oga house see how he knelt to beg. He called me the next day to apologize cos he was high and attacked me unprovoked, self-defense came to play.

“I made sure he got him, I wasn’t satisfied because they were too many Big Boys/men who knew he attacked me unprovoked because he was drunk and I did mine to fill gaps. I am not a violent person, but I will defend myself.”

Franklin also said Timaya was bringing the encounter to the public domain because he had called him out over his (Timaya) recent hit-and-run controversy.

Franklin tweeted, “Timaya is so petty. You are angry because I told you how wrong it was to knock a woman down and leave her to her fate.

“You come to talk trash here today? I am not a person that will see wrong and keep quiet. You were wrong to have knocked that woman down and left her there. Period.”
