Music executive Ubi Franklin has refuted allegations that he stole a luxury wristwatch while in Miami, United States, for singer Davido’s wedding over the weekend.
The rumours surfaced on social media on Wednesday after a blog report suggested Franklin was involved in the alleged theft.
In a post on his X (formerly Twitter) account, Franklin said: “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.”
Detailing his account of events in Miami, Franklin said he was approached by a man identified as Benny, who offered to sell him 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 to him,” he stated.
