“Don’t let me beat u again” – Singer, Timaya and Ubi Franklin fight dirty over hit & run saga

Nigerian singer, Timaya has called Ubi Franklin out for offering his two cents on his press statement.

It all started when the singer issued a public statement on March 22nd regarding the alleged ‘hit and run’ he was accused of.

In his press release, Timaya shared his account of what had occurred.

According to him, he didn’t intentionally hurt the lady he brushed with his vehicle as alleged.

The singer revealed that after the lady accused him of hitting her car, he came out to collect her phone number so they could settle the matter amicably.

However, while he was trying to collect the lady’s phone number, he saw four men running toward him. He had to flee from them.

He concluded by apologizing to the victim of the accident and her family, as well as his fans.

Reacting to this, Ubi Franklin advised Timaya, stating that he should have first apologized and reached out to the victim’s family rather than speaking about it on Instagram live.

“Dear Timaya, as a senior man in the Nigerian Enterainment Industry, the first thing you would have done when you were accused was to apologize as you have just done and then call the victim’s family.

Your live video the other day showed you cared less about the situation.

Thank U” He wrote.

Days later, Timaya acknowledged Franklin’s response. He took to Twitter to issue a strong warning to the single dad.

The singer tweeted;

“Ubi Franklin u remember the beating I gave u in January last year? Don’t let me beat u again and pls I like your new JOB. As Ifeanyi’s NANI and pls don’t mess it up. Davido is a good guy he can make ur life. Pls focus on ur new JOB. Thanks.”

In response, Ubi Franklin accused Timaya of forgetting what had truly occurred during the said incident.

The music executive wrote via his Instagram page;

“See Timaya wen senior men help comot for hand dey talk say em beat me. You don forget wetin happen that day? Or you don high?”

“I know because y’all see timaya act gangster you feel say him fit beat me :joy::joy::joy: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 apologize cos he was high and attacked me unprovoked, self defense came to play,”

In a follow-up post, Franklin accused Timaya of still being angry that he chastised him over his handling of the accident.

“Timaya is so petty. You are angry cos 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.” he wrote.
