15. Ubi Franklin and Emma Nyra drama
Emma Nyra in an interview swore she didn’t date her former boss Ubi Franklin. She said when asked if she dated Ubi Franklin or Iyanya, “No…never…See, I get that him and Iyanya but no. We have a business together and I never dated any of them so, yeah. I swear I never dated any of them.”
That interview came around the time Ubi Franklin wanted to get married to his now wife, Lilian Esoro.
Ubi Franklin on the other hand claim they dated.
He said,
I was dating Emma Nyra and the relationship didn’t go as I thought it should have gone. When you’re dating somebody and you are the boss, there are things you can’t tell your wife or your girlfriend. But if you say it to an employee you are dating, they tend to misbehave. Like, if you tell the others to do something, they will obey without thinking about it. It’s not only me but it has happened to a lot of people, but that is the business lesson I’ve learnt in my life…That relationship made me cut off a lot of people and it also made me feel like everybody wanted the same ‘cake’ I was having. I spent a lot of time trying to beef people when I am not supposed to. It really dealt me a big blow. I decided in the end that it doesn’t make any sense and we both understood that and moved on.
Many found Emma Nyra’s defiance shocking. Their relationship was well known to industry players.
