Talent manager Ubi Franklin has criticised music producer Samklef for mocking Davido after his Grammy Award loss.
The 67th Grammy Awards took place on 2nd February 2025 in Los Angeles, United States.
Davido, along with other nominees in the Best African Music Performance category, lost to Tems.
On Monday, Samklef shared a post on his X page ridiculing the singer over his repeated Grammy loss.
He claimed that if Davido had won, the internet would have been filled with noise.
Samklef also expressed satisfaction that the Grammy management cannot be bribed into awarding someone who doesn’t deserve it.
He wrote, “Please check on 30BGs o!
Thank God say dem no dey bribe for Grammy—if not, we for no hear word today!
At the end of the day, money can’t save you if you don’t have real talent. Tems won because she’s truly gifted.
Now she has the house, the private jet, the expensive cars—but no unnecessary show-off. Just pure talent.”
In response, Ubi Franklin revealed that he had privately addressed Samklef’s attitude towards Davido.
He pointed out that it wasn’t just Davido who had lost his nomination, yet Samklef chose to mock him specifically.
Ubi wrote, “Samklef you actually need to stop this please, David is not the first person who has gotten nominated and hasn’t won yet.
Chris Brown after 25 Nominations he just got two.
Stop dragging David into your continuous disrespectful commentary.
I am very certain Burna and wiz aren’t even bothered about the outcome yesterday at the Grammy.
I have spoken to you in private as my friend, you need to actually stop this rubbish you have been doing, please stop.”
