Popular nightlife impresario Cubana Chief Priest and entertainment executive Ubi Franklin have reportedly engaged in a heated physical altercation at a high-profile event held at Transcorp Hilton Hotel, Abuja, according to reports by renowned journalist Stella Dimoko-Korkus.
The alleged confrontation, which has since gone viral on social media, is said to have stemmed from lingering tensions involving Nigerian music superstar Davido and his fiancée, Chioma Avril Rowland.
While the exact cause remains unclear, Stella Dimoko-Korkus alleged that Cubana Chief Priest was displeased with Ubi Franklin’s continued association with Davido, especially given Ubi’s past role as Chioma’s manager.
Another unconfirmed report suggests that Ubi Franklin may have been lobbying for an invite to Davido and Chioma’s highly anticipated white wedding in Miami, which is generating significant media buzz. This, some sources claim, might have triggered the altercation.
As of the time of filing this report, neither Cubana Chief Priest nor Ubi Franklin has publicly commented on the matter, leaving fans and observers speculating about the nature and seriousness of the fallout.
Despite the drama, both men are known to be regular fixtures in Nigeria’s entertainment and nightlife scenes, often linked to celebrity events and social circles.
More details are expected to emerge as the story develops.
