Grammy loss: Ubi Franklin chides Samklef for mocking Davido
Talent manager, Ubi Franklin has berated music producer, Samklef for mocking Davido over his loss at the 2025 Grammy Awards.
Davido’s ‘Sensational’, a collaboration with Chris Brown and Lojay, lost in the Best African Music Performance category to Tems’ ‘Love Me JeJe’ at the 67th Grammy Awards held at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, on Sunday, February 2.
It was the fourth time that the ‘Unavailable’ crooner would be nominated for the Grammys without clinching an award.
Taking to X, Samklef said Burna Boy and Wizkid, who are both Grammy winners, would be laughing their hearts out, a jibe perceived by some social media users to be directed at Davido.
He said, “Burnaboy and Wizkid go dey one place just dey laff…he wan win Grammy!”
Reacting, Ubi Franklin advised Samklef to stop dragging Davido into his “disrespectful commentary”.
He said, “Samklef, you actually need to stop this please. David is not the first person who has gotten nominated and hasn’t won yet.
“Chris Brown after 25 nominations just got two. Stop dragging David into your continuous disrespectful commentary.
“I am very certain Burna and Wiz aren’t even bothered about the outcome yesterday at the Grammy.
“I have spoken to you in private as my friend. You need to actually stop this rubbish you have been doing. Please stop.”
Popular Nollywood actress, Doris Ogala, has raised alarm over the presence of armed policemen in her house.
Expressing fear, the actress who captured how the police surrounded her residence very early on Tuesday, stated that she was never invited.
While calling on the public to hold the founder of Grace Nation International Ministry, Pastor Chris Okafor responsible if they don’t hear from her again, she accused the clergy man of orchestrating yet another attempt to arrest and imprison her this morning without her legal representative.
“I have police people in my house. I don’t know how they entered my house. They said they’re from Lagos. Chris doesn’t want to leave me alone. He has carried me to three different courts and more than seven police stations.
“They have surrounded my house. If you people don’t see me again, please hold Chris Okafor responsible for my disappearance”, she said.
DAILY POST reports that the fight between her and her pastor began in late 2025, when a video of Chris Okafor’s engagement to Pearl Okafor went viral on social media.
Reacting to the engagement video, Doris called out the clergy man for dumping her to marry a younger lady after years of her sexual relationships with him.
Okafor who did not deny the allegations, allegedly paid Doris $10,000 for settlement.
Announcing the sad incident Mama No Network prays for the recovery of his losses.
Sharing the video of the incident, the actress wrote “Lanko Omo Oba Dubai house got burnt. I pray may God will recover all his losses soon.”
DAILY POST reports that Mama No Network got married to Lanko in 2014 and remarried in 2023 after separation from the actor.
