I am not Davido’s nanny or PA – Ubi Franklin clarifies
Music executive Ubi Franklin has clarified that he is neither Davido’s personal assistant nor his nanny, despite some people referring to him in those terms.
The former artist manager made this statement in response to a comment on X that labeled him as Davido’s personal assistant and his wife’s nanny.
Ubi emphasized that he works as a business administrator, noting that the Afrobeats singer refers to him as a “solutionist.”
He wrote, “I am the CEO of Mademusicg, and if you see me working with Davido, it’s because I have the necessary qualifications and experience for the role of a business administrator. David calls me #thesolutionist; interpret that as you wish. I am definitely not his PA or nanny—as many of you have tried to imply. If that makes you happy, so be it. I am focused on the business side, and that’s where I’ll always remain.”
This clarification comes after Nigerian artist Timaya referred to Ubi as Davido’s “employed nanny” in a tweet on March 30, 2022.
Later, in October 2023, while on a jet together, Davido playfully teased Ubi by calling him a nanny.
