Music executive, Ubi Franklin, has denied stealing a luxury watch while in Miami, US, for Davido\u2019s wedding over the weekend.<\/p>\n
The rumours began circulating on social media on Wednesday following a report on a blog.<\/p>\n
Franklin has now taken to his X account to clarify what really happened.<\/p>\n
He wrote: \u201cI 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.<\/p>\n
\u201cRecently, I returned from my dear Friend\/sister\u2019s wedding and I am currently preparing for my sister\u2019s funeral this coming weekend. It is an extremely difficult and sensitive time for me and my family, but I feel it is important to address this matter directly.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile in Miami, Benny met me and offered to sell me 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 with him.<\/p>\n
\u201cDuring the wedding church service, Benny sent his brother another wristwatch to me which I had purchased and paid in full.<\/p>\n
\u201cGiven the busy circumstances surrounding the wedding, I was in possession of both wristwatches and wore the one he sent to me through his brother.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter the wedding, I had to leave Miami immediately to finalise my sister\u2019s funeral coming up this weekend. While airborne, I was contacted by Benny regarding the other wristwatch.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to state clearly: I am not a thief. I have never stolen from anyone in my life. I purchased a wristwatch and paid in full from Benny.<\/p>\n
\u201cBenny had earlier in the day debunked this news and yet it still kept spreading.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
