Music entrepreneur, Ubi Franklin, has defended singer Davido after he was mocked by music producer, Samklef, following his failure to win an award at the 67th Grammy Awards ceremony in Los Angeles on Sunday night.

Davido went into the night hopeful of winning an award with his collaboration song with Chris Brown, titled Sensational, which was nominated in the Best African Music Performance category.

However, the song lost to Love Me Jeje by fellow Nigerian Tems. Other songs in the category included Tomorrow by Yemi Alade, MMS by Asake featuring Wizkid, and Higher by Burna Boy.

The loss made it the fourth time Davido would be missing out on winning an award after getting nominated by the organizers of the prestigious award ceremony.

Reacting, Samklef shared on X, "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 another post, he said, "Burnaboy and Wizkid go Dey one place just Dey laff, he wan win Grammy!"

Not pleased with the way Samklef dragged Davido after the Grammy snub, Ubi Franklin described his action as rubbish.

He said on X, "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 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."
