Popular musician, Timaya has threatened to beat music executive, Ubi Franklin for the second time.

Timaya took to his Twitter handle to issue the threat without stating why.

The singer wrote: “Ubi Franklin u remember the beating I gave u in January last year? Don’t let me beat u again, and pls I like your new JOB. As Ifeanyi’s NANI and pls don’t mess it up. Davido is a good guy, he can make ur life. Pls focus on ur new JOB. Thanks.”

“Say the truth, talk who helped you that day Timaya. You know the truth. Timaya is so petty. You are angry cos I told you how wrong it was to knock a woman down and leave her to her fate. You come to talk trash here today,” Ubi’s tweet reads.

He added: “I am not a person that will see wrong and keep quiet. You were wrong to have knocked that woman down and left her there. Period.”

On Timaya’s threat, Ubi noted that he was the one who actually dealt Timaya a blow in self defence as he was attacked unprovoked.

“I made sure he got his, I wasn’t satisfied cos there were too many Big Boys/men who knew he attacked me unprovoked cos he was drunk and I did mine to fill gaps. I am not a violent person, but I will defend myself.

“I know because y’all see timaya act gangster you feel say him fit beat me. No wahala, I go find that CCTV footage From my oga house see how he knelt down to beg. He called me the next day to apologise cos he was high and attacked me unprovoked, self defense came to play.”

Ubi Franklin however went on to dig the former tweet where he had admonished Timaya for ignoring the lady he hit with his car.

“Dear Timaya, as a senior man in the Nigerian Entertainment Industry, the first thing you would have done when you were accused was to apologise for what you have done and then call the victim’s family. Your live video the other day showed you cared less about the situation.
Thank you”

And quoted the tweet by saying “This is the tweet. You are not above the law, you knocked a woman down and expect that I celebrate you? Never.”

Accept broke men or put up with busy ones – Kanayo O. Kanayo tells ladies

Nollywood actor Kanayo O. Kanayo has shared his thoughts on relationships and what women may need to consider when choosing a partner.

In a recent post on his Instagram page, he advised ladies to think carefully about their priorities and what they are willing to accept in a relationship.

Kanayo O. Kanayo suggested that women who are not willing to be with someone who is financially struggling may need to be prepared to date someone who is very busy and has limited time to devote to a relationship.

He presented this as a trade-off, implying that women may need to make a choice between these two options.

On his Instagram page, Kanayo wrote:

“The gentleman’s code: If you don’t want a man who is broke, you are going to have to put up with a busy one.”

In another news, Kanayo defends Davido amid backlash over economic comment.

In a recent interview, Davido advised African Americans against relocating to Africa, citing Nigeria’s dire economic conditions as a case study.

The statement has since ignited widespread criticism, with many calling for the musician to apologize.

However, Kanayo, currently in the UK, addressed the controversy in a video shared on Instagram, urging Nigerians to respect Davido’s right to free speech.

The veteran actor highlighted that Davido, despite his privileged background, made the comments out of concern for the average Nigerian.

Dismissing the demands for an apology, Kanayo said:

“Nigerians make una leave Davido alone about the comment he made; it’s freedom of speech and he made it in good faith. It is left for those in power to work harder to give us a better Nigeria. We need to build a better Nigeria,” he said partly.

“Some people say he should apologize; apologize for what? He’s a Nigerian and he made his statement in good faith. Those who criticize us wants the best out of us. Davido and his family can feed well but he speaks for other Nigerians who cannot,” he added.
