Celebrity Music executive, Ubi Franklin, has vehemently denied stealing a luxury watch while in Miami, US, for Davido’s wedding over the weekend.
The rumours began to make the rounds on social media on Wednesday following a report on a blog.
Franklin has now taken to his X account to clarify what really happened.
He wrote: “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 with him.
“During the wedding church service, Benny sent his brother another wristwatch to me 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 finalise 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.”
