Iyanya VS Ubi Franklin |
He also spoke about the
allegations of him ‘beating up’ Emma Nyra when she was signed to the
label and the Non-disclosure aggrement they signed that prohibits her
from speaking else she’ll risk paying him 10million naira.
See excerpts from the interview below….
What Happened With Emma Nyra?
We
didn’t agree. You see, Emma Nyra’s situation, I cannot say much about
it because I am binded by contract not to say anything about our
situation. I am not going to say anything about it. Because if I say
anything about it, I have a legal suit that I’m going to pay 10 million
naira. So, I’m not going to say anything about Emma Nyra.
If she does,
I’d have to collect 10 million because me and Emma Nyra don’t really
have any problem. Even when she had the twins, we spoke. I even sent her
a message. So, we don’t have problems. These problems are problems
Iyanya is trying to create to hype himself up.
Tell Me What You Know About What Transpired Between Iyanya And Temple Music?
Yeah,
it was a one-on-one conversation we had at his house. He showed me a
heated WhatsApp chat with the owner of Temple, them. That’s why I was
able to believe he was having problems with Temple. When he wanted to
leave Temple, I told him, ‘Don’t leave Temple the way you left Made
Men’. Which is, relieve yourself, settle everything and go.
I said, ‘The
fact that you want to leave Temple doesn’t mean that you should fight
them. It would now become constant. It can’t be like it’s the same thing
you do everywhere you go. People would come and be putting some rubbish
things around it.
People you collected money from to pay your
house rent when your landlady chased you out. They gave you a car. You
were stuck in America they paid for you. Have you spoken to Temple? Ask
Iyanya if he told me that he had issues with Temple and he needed to
clear up his contract with N60 million. Ask him if he told me that.
N60 Million, To Exit His Contract?
Yes.
And I told him I was going to raise the money. Before I raised that
money I spoke him. It took me 24 hours or less to raise that money. When
I raised that money I started calling him, he was not picking up his
phone so I just left it. So for me, you see all these things Iyanya is
saying ehn, when I look at it I just laugh.
Because I have everything to
prove. I have everything to show. If this is what Iyanya is going to do
after all my hard work. Now, you know what? People would comment and
say ‘This Ubi guy, Ubi is like this, Ubi is like that’. You know why
they’d say that?
Why?
All artist
managers are hated. You know why? We do the dirty job. So I don’t expect
anybody to like me. When we leave these artists and go that’s when you
start seeing who these artists are directly and you start to see who
they are. Please, what did he say about Emma Nyra?
That You Had Problems In Your Relationship And You Physically Assaulted Her Repeatedly..
Have you asked Iyanya what happened between him and Yvonne Nelson?
Was Iyanya Physically Abusing Yvonne Nelson?
(Laughs) It’s, not my mouth you’d hear that thing from. I promised not to say anything or put Iyanya out.
He Said He Saw You Beating Emma Nyra?
Me?
Did He Advise Her To Leave You?
Bro
see, Iyanya is a big liar. He has been saying it for many years that he
is going to use Emma Nyra against me. You understand? I did every work
for Emma to make sure. I’m not going to speak about Emma Nyra unless she
talks. We have a contract binding us not to say anything. Why didn’t he
say on his interview that I beat up Emma Nyra?
He Did Say That…
Bro,
I’d advise you not to. Because I would put out all the married women he
slept with. Their pictures side by side for me. Bro I don’t want to
talk. Because if you allow me to do that to him, I’d drag him through
the whole of this country. I’m not scared of shit. What I want about
this matter is for people to see clarity.
If Emma Nyra has issues she
would come and say it herself. Emma Nyra is a mother now. I think her
focus is different. And she even wouldn’t want to be involved in all
this. I wish Iyanya was a father. If he was a father, most of these
things he is saying he would not do it. When I kept watching his
interviews I kept laughing.
Bro, don’t let me do this to this to this
guy. If you’re writing your story, take out the Emma Nyra situation
because if you’re writing about something like that, Emma Nyra needs to
speak for herself and with the way I and Emma Nyra are tight, we cannot
speak about each other.
We had our whole issues and the issues were
settled and I have a legal document to back it. So for me, leave her out
of this and focus on something else. Write your post. See, I never
really wanted to get to this point bro. For everything that happens,
there are two sides to the story.
Do You Think You Treated Everyone Fairly?
I
treated everybody fair. I’m not perfect bro. See, there’s nobody even
you talking to me right now that would say they don’t have issues with
people.
Check the whole entertainment industry. Am I the first person
that an artist is leaving my record label or an artist is having issues
with me? I’m not the first now. When did artists start leaving record
labels? Exactly, let’s be very diplomatic about this thing. Did they say
that I had their money, I ate it and I didn’t give them?
It Was Just About You Not Treating Them Right That They Had Expectations And Those Expectations Were Not Met.
Okay, what expectations?
A More Hands-On Promotion And Marketing Perhaps?
Can
I ask you a question? Iyanya says he was a partner and he was investing
so why are they not blaming that on Iyanya? Exactly. Why is it that it
is Ubi they are blaming it on? Why is it that they are all coming
together to fight?
Do you understand where this thing is going? You said
you are a partner abi? You were investing. So why are they not fighting
you? Is it that you gave me money to push your music and I didn’t do
it? So you see the twist? Now, If they say that the label is not
treating them right who is the label? Ubi, Iyanya. Why are they not
fighting Iyanya?
Maybe He Has Done Nothing To Warrant That?
All
these people talking, how much did they make me? Chibbz, how much did
we make from him? The only person that can talk and I would respond to
the person is only Iyanya and Baci. I know Selebobo would not say
anything to you because for a fact he doesn’t have anything to say to
you.
What Role Did You Play In The Tensions Between Iyanya And Tekno?
He
(Iyanya) says Tekno is rude and ill-mannered. The issue between me and
Iyanya that made me and Iyanya break up finally was that I hired a
driver for Iyanya. Iyanya and the driver fought and he fired the driver.
And Tekno hired the driver. Tekno was living on his own. So one day I
now went to meet Iyanya that just in case you come to Nigeria before me,
what I just heard is that Ken your former driver now works for Tekno.
Tekno, on the other hand, said he saw this guy on the road, he had a
baby at home and he decided to hire him. And he asked him what happened
between you and Iyanya, and the guy explained his side. So he was like
let me just hire the guy because the person you know is better than the
person you don’t know. And the guy worked with Tekno for a very long
time.
So Iyanya started accusing me, of using Tekno to disrespect
him.
That how would I know that Tekno is about to hire his own driver
that he sacked and I allowed that happen? That’s how he turned and said
he wants to leave the record label. Every time issues happen he says
that I am the one not making them, Tekno, to respect him. I’m like bro,
Tekno is a man of his own. Everybody, they are men.
And I don’t think
any of these guys disrespect you, they respect you. From Selebobo they
respect you. They call him “Baba.” They don’t call him by name. Do you
understand? They call him Baba. They don’t call him by name. Ask him
what happened between him and Tekno and what happened between him and
the driver Tekno hired? Do you understand?
Already, everything he
said is a lie. A lot of the things he said are lies. So, there is a
legal document that is going to be sent to him soon for him to retract
everything he has said because he is lying.
Whatever I tell you I have
proof. You see the story I told you about these women? I have proof of
it and I warned him. I said ‘Listen, I’m going to spoil your career, let
it go’. Do you understand? I’m going to let it go. Now he is the one
going to tell you that I beat up Emma Nyra.
