Never you talk about me and Ubi Franklin
on your programme he told him
Nigerian Afro pop singer Iyanya allegedly
threatened on-air-personality (OAP) Last
Prophet of Hit FM, Calabar.
In a telephone recording obtained by The
Net, Iyanya was heard threatening the OAP
on the phone.
Last Prophet had on his radio show
Otwetwe, on Tuesday, August 2, 2016
discussed Iyanya’s parting ways with his
former partner and manager Ubi Franklin. In
a witty way, the OAP cum comedian jokingly
said he wondered if Iyanya was planning to
return back to Calabar where he started
from.
This did not however go down well with
Iyanya who just after the show, Iyanya put a
call through to the OAP allegedly threatening
him.
He said: “I don’t depend on my strive (sic),
but I depend on God to take me further, this is
Iyanya speaking, brother let this be the first
and the last time that you will make that kind
of statement that you made about me on your
show. I have never had any issue with you;
don’t ever in your whole life mention my issue
with Ubi on your show. I’ve had different
people calls me to make that report, the next
time you do I’ll show you another side of me”.
Last Prophet told The Net that: “I was
shocked at Iyanya’s phone call. I’m a
comedian and OAP, my show is a comedy
show in pidgin English. All I did was make
jokes from the situation, which is what anyone
else would have done. I only feel bad because
I’m sure he would not do that to any OAP in
Lagos; he did it to me because he feels I’m in
Calabar and he can just threaten me like that.”
Iyanya in July, 2016 announced he is starting
a new record label which raised the
insinuation that all is not well between him
and his erstwhile manager and label co-
owner Ubi Franklin. His announcement
generated lots of talks till Franklin opened up
that he and Iyanya had discussed his leaving
the label a year before Iyanya announced it.
But on July 27, 2016 Iyanya announced via
his Instagram page that he has signed with a
new record label The Temple Management
Company and his latest album would be
released under it.
