The talent manager explained that managing the emotions and relationships involving the mothers of his children has been more difficult than meeting his financial responsibilities.

“I want to tell young people, please and please, no matter the life you want to live, let baby mama drama not be part of it,” he warned.

Franklin, who shares a son with his former wife Lilian Esoro, has four children from different relationships.

Reflecting on his past, he said children remain “the best thing” in life but advised people to, where possible, raise them within one family unit.

“Learn from my experience. Growth begins with honesty,” he wrote in the caption accompanying the video.

@Akikanju1568901 noted:

"Oga, you're wrong, life is not bread and butter, it's not a straight forward path based on personal preferences, life and the decisions that we make are based on individual realities and complexities. Or do you mean people from failed marriages and relationships shouldn't love or continue with life and have children with the new people in their lives that they share good bonds with? Fingers are not equal and your own personal experience doesn't have to be other people's experience in life, work in your own life and let other people make their own decisions based on their own realities in life. You are not sensible or intelligent enough to offer love or life advice. Mind your business."
