The music executive stated that the allegations were completely false and misleading.

Ubi, who disclosed he was currently preparing for his sister’s funeral scheduled to take place this weekend, said it was an extremely difficult and sensitive time for him and his family.

He recalled how Davido's jeweler, Benny, offered to sell a wristwatch to him, which he decided against purchasing after reviewing it and confirming its previous ownership.

"I decided not to purchase it in order to avoid any potential complications," Ubi said.

The talent manager, however, disclosed that during the wedding, Benny sent his brother with another wristwatch to him, which he (Ubi) purchased and paid in full.

"Given the busy circumstances surrounding the wedding, I was in possession of both wristwatches and wore the one he sent to me through his brother. After the wedding, I had to leave Miami immediately to finialize my sister’s funeral coming up this weekend. While airborne, I was contacted by Benny regarding the other wristwatch," he said.
