Popular Nigerian singer, Inetimi Timaya Odon, better known as Timaya, and music artists manager, Ubi Franklin, on Wednesday got into an online verbal brawl.
While Timaya claimed that he beat up Franklin during the duo’s altercation in January 2021, Franklin said that he stood up to him (Timaya) and defended himself.
Franklin was told to focus on his career and alleged new job as a nanny by Timaya.
Timaya, who also threatened to assault Franklin, reminded the record label boss about a physical altercation they had in January 2021.

In a post on his verified Twitter handle on Wednesday morning, Timaya wrote, “Ubi Franklin you remember the beating I gave you in January last year? Don’t let me beat you again, and please I like your new JOB. As Ifeanyi’s NANI and please don’t mess it up. Davido is a good guy he can make your life. Please focus on your new JOB. Thanks.”
However, in response to Timaya’s claim, Franklin stated that he defended himself, and that if the situation arises again, he will protect himself.
Franklin claimed he would reveal the Close Circuit Television Camera footage of what happened during the 2021 bout in a series of tweets, giving his own story of what happened during the fight.
He wrote, “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.
“I made sure he got his, I wasn’t satisfied because they were too many Big Boys/men who knew he attacked me unprovoked because he was drunk and I did mine to fill gaps. I am not a violent person, but I will defend myself.”
Franklin also said Timaya was bringing the encounter to the public domain because he had called him out over his (Timaya) recent hit-and-run controversy.
Recall Biztellers had on March 2, 2022, reported how Timaya was accused of hitting and abandoning a lady in the Ikate area of Lagos State.
Franklin tweeted, “Timaya is so petty. You are angry because I told how wrong it was to knock a woman down and leave her to her fate.
“You come to talk trash here today? 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.”
