If reports flying around is anything to go by, then the relationship between Iyanya’s manager Ubi Franklin and his fiancee Lilian Esoro might be heading for the rocks and not the alter as we all thought.
The drama that has so far been unfolding could only be likened to a telenovella plotted around a love triangle with the principal characters being Emma Nyra, Ubi Franklin and Lilian Esoro.
A lot of rumors have been trailing Ubi and Lilian since the later proposed with insiders saying the engagement has been called off, however an interview granted by Emma added a rather interesting twist to the plot.
When asked by her interviewer if she had dated Ubi or Iyanya, Emma vehemently denied, even going as far as to swear that she never dated Ubi or Iyanya. she also claimed not to have dated someone in the industry but that someone was definitely not the triple Mg boss. Those who were in the know were quick to rubbish her claim saying she dated Ubi for 3 years before they went their separate ways, leading to her exit from the label.
It got even more interesting when an interview granted by Iyanya’s manager was released a few hours later. In the tell all interview, Ubi admitted dating the “Elele” crooner and spending a whole lot of ,money on her career which has refused to pick up. He claimed to have only started dating the Nollywood actress after he and the singer went their separate ways because it wasn’t working.
Emma later took to her instagram page to allude that she might have been in an abusive relationship, also granting more credibility to the allegation which has been flying around that she was a victim of domestic violence at the hands of her former boss/lover.
“Once I finally speak on my experience FULLY, everyone will truly understand. Silence and success are the best revenge only fools shout. Women should never be forced or abused into doing things they do not want to do. Lying to people is one thing.God sees us all”
Meanwhile, Lilian Esoro who had taken down her instagram account since last week put it back up this week and the pictures of her engagement with Ubi had disappeared. Rumor has it that the Clinic matters actress had called off the engagement with the triple mg boss right after she returned from the U.K. Insiders say this is the second time the actress will call off the engagement, and her friends are also in support of her refusal to go ahead with the marriage due to the domestic violence rumors going around the music entrepreneur.
Those who should be in the know say Ubi arranged a meeting of godfathers in the entertainment industry to appease the actress, but their plea fell on deaf ears.
Neither Ubi or the actress has spoken up about the status of their engagement, but as always, time will tell.
