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.”
