    Ubi Franklin, a well-known music executive and talent manager from Nigeria, has explained how he canceled P-Square’s signing deal with singer Iyanya.

    Franklin clarified that at a pivotal point in Iyanya’s career, P-Square had indicated interest in signing him but had declined.

    In his very popular conversation with Adesope Olajide on the Afrobeats podcast, he made this statement.

    Franklin recounted the event and said that P-Square’s conduct at the meeting to discuss the record contract wounded his pride.

    He said, “We got to their house, Paul, Peter and their manager, Jude Okoye, asked me to wait outside and went in with Iyanya.

    “I was boiling outside. Iyanya would have gotten that deal with P-Square but the fact that they said I should wait outside bruised my ego.

    “I said to them, ‘you know what, even if I was offered $50 million, I would reject the deal.’ Guess what, Eldee’s deal was actually better than theirs.”

    In other news, Iyanya has expressed gratitude to superstar singer Davido for supporting his career. During Davido’s concert in Paris, France, on January 30, Iyanya was brought on stage, and he took to his Twitter page to thank Davido for the opportunity.

    Iyanya mentioned that after seeing Davido perform, he realized how important it is to go on additional music tours, particularly when one’s discography spans more than ten years. In addition to expressing his gratitude for the chance to spend time with fans, he used the occasion to reveal the album’s release date.

    Additionally, Iyanya revealed that his UK and European tour is scheduled for February 17, 2024, and he’s planning to “go hard” during this tour. The acknowledgment of Davido’s support and the determination to continue touring reflect Iyanya’s commitment to his musical journey.
