Blogger Cutie Juls has shared details about an ongoing feud between music executive Ubi Franklin and singer Kizz Daniel over a N150 million gig.
A few days ago, Ubi Franklin and Kizz Daniel had unfollowed each other on Instagram, sparking rumors of a dispute.
Adding to the speculation, the music executive commented on a blog asking if he should speak out about the situation.
In a post on its Instagram page, Cutie Juls revealed that the ongoing feud started after Ubi arranged a N150 million gig for Daniel, expecting a 10% commission (N15 million).
According to the blogger, the music executive deducted his commission and sent N135 million to Kizz Daniel.
However, Kizz Daniel insisted on receiving the full amount first to handle the payment himself, possibly for tax reasons.
Cutie Juls said that after their little back-and-forth, Ubi complied and transferred the full N150 million to the singer.
But after receiving the money, Daniel only paid Ubi N7.5 million, claiming that the 10% commission was an agreement with his brother, not with him, and offering only a 5% commission.
This led to a heated argument, with threats of legal action, and both parties blocking each other on social media.
Cutie Juls write, “Who go solve this N7.5 million f!ght bayi?
“Apparently, Ubi got Kizz Daniel a N150 million gig in Nigeria and initially Kizz agreed to pay Ubi 10% which is N15 million.
“So since Ubi got the deal with with MMM label, he took out N15 million and sent the N135 million to Kizz Daniel’s account [ @lagosstategovt hope you people have taken your tax 😩].
“Now, Kizz Daniel upon receiving the alert said no, Ubi has to pay the whole sum to him so he can account properly then he would now pay Ubi’s cut as an expense maybe for tax purposes.
“Initially, Ubi refused and then Kizz Daniel said unless the whole N150 million is paid into his account, he won’t go for the show. So Ubi then had to succumb and pay the N150 million to Kizz.
“When Kizz received the money, instead of N15 million, Kizz sent 7.5 million to Ubi.
“When Ubi asked Kizz for the rest of the money, Kizz Daniel told Ubi that the 10% commission was an agreement between Ubi and his [Kizz D] brother and not him. And that he will only offer Ubi 5% which is the N7.5 he had sent him.
“This created a huge argument and Ubi even wanted to take legal actions.
“They used unprinted words on each other and then Kizz Daniel blocked all Ubi’s phone numbers from his phone. Ubi then returned the favour and unfollowed Kizz Daniel on IG.
“Kizz Daniel upon seeing it went ahead and blocked Ubi on IG.
“Hmmm.. And they used to be very very close before this matter o. Abeg, who is at fault here? 👩🦯”
