Nightlife mogul, Cubana Chief Priest, and music executive Ubi Franklin have both reacted to reports of an alleged public clash between them at the prestigious Transcorp Hilton Hotel on Thursday, May 22, 2025.
According to a scoop by Stella Dimoko Korkus (SDK), the altercation erupted when Cubana Chief Priest blocked Ubi Franklin’s path toward a group of Davido’s associates. This sparked a heated confrontation that allegedly escalated into a brief physical exchange. Eyewitnesses claim the incident drew significant attention before both parties were separated by event security.
While the details remain sketchy, the story quickly spread across entertainment blogs and social media, reigniting old tensions between the two industry figures. Observers were quick to recall their 2022 online spat, when Cubana called out Ubi Franklin for what he described as “emotional fence-sitting” between Afrobeats heavyweights Davido and Wizkid. At the time, Cubana firmly stated that Franklin owed his loyalty to Davido—“na who put you for jet you suppose love pass,” he declared.
Though the dust of the alleged clash is yet to fully settle, neither Cubana Chief Priest nor Ubi Franklin has offered a public statement, leaving the public to decode cryptic posts and body language in their recent social media updates.
Was it a full-blown fight or just fiery words between frenemies? As fans await clarification, the incident underscores the delicate rivalries and ego clashes that often simmer beneath Nigeria’s celebrity circles.
For now, Abuja’s high society holds its breath, waiting for the next post, podcast, or press release to shed light on what really happened that night in Transcorp.
