Late last year, grapevine had it that Triple MG boss Ubi Franklin and
his record label artiste, Emma Nyra parted ways after having being
together for three years, over battery and assault claims.
However, Emma Nyra publicly denied having ever dated her manager this morning.
As a matter of fact, she swore that she has never gone on a date with him, yes she swore.
In her chat with Emma Emerson of Golden Icons, the singer said “No…never…See,
I get that him and Iyanya but no. We have a business together and I
never dated any of them so, yeah. I swear I never dated any of them.”
Although she kinda admitted that she might date Iyanya.
” They ask me that all the time…maybe in the future, but not right now.”
And then she had a thing to say about Ubi Franklin’s engagement to actress Lilian Esoro.
“I’m happy for him. He’s in a happy place. To marry someone you
have to be on a certain level in your life so I’m happy for him. Well, I
don’t really know her very well because when they met I was more of
doing my own thing so I don’t really know her very well but I wish them
the best really because married life is…When you find your partner, I
feel like that’s when your life actually begins.”
Barely hours later, Ubi Franklin decided to stab her on the back by revealing that they were actually an item.
“I was dating Emma Nyra and the relationship didn’t go as I thought it should have gone” he candidly revealed in an interview with The Cable.
was candid about his affair with his artiste Emma Nyra, and the drama it
caused. “When you’re dating somebody and you are the boss, there
are things you can’t tell your wife or your girlfriend. But if you say
it to an employee you are dating, they tend to misbehave. Like, if you
tell the others to do something, they will obey without thinking about
it. It’s not only me but it has happened to a lot of people, but that is
the business lesson I’ve learnt in my life. That relationship made me
cut off a lot of people and it also made me feel like everybody wanted
the same ‘cake’ I was having. I spent a lot of time trying to beef
people when I am not supposed to. It really dealt me a big blow. I
decided in the end that it doesn’t make any sense and we both understood
that and moved on” he further stated.
more into Emma Nyra’s career than Iyanya who is the flagship act of the
label. “I don’t think that I have spent as much money on Iyanya as I’ve spent on Emma Nyra. Emma has like nine videos at about N3.5m” he revealed.
Still in the interview, Ubi Franklin revealed that he met Lilian Esoro after he stopped dating Emma Nyra.
He praised the virtues of his wife-to-be (virtues that Emma Nyra probably lacked) during the interview. ”
I met her after I had broken up with Emma, about four months after.
Immediately I saw her, I said ‘You are my wife’. She took it like ‘I
don’t know what this guy is saying’. She’s everything I can ever ask God
for. She’s very brilliant, she can cook. She’s usually quiet and more
reserved. She’s not one of those actresses who are just out there and
all over the place.
She’s very subtle with everything she does. Even to post pictures
on Instagram. The reason many people never knew we were dating is that
she didn’t want us to post any pictures on Instagram. I wanted to put up
pictures but she told me that if we made it a social media
relationship, then it wouldn’t last.She’s everything I can ever ask God for.
She’s very brilliant, she can cook. She’s usually quiet and more
reserved. She’s not one of those actresses who are just out there and
all over the place. She’s very subtle with everything she does. I’ve
dated different girls in my lifetime but I believe when you meet a
woman that you are going to marry you would know. You might date someone
for 10 years and still not get married but the day you meet the person
that you are going to marry, you will know.”
