Ubi Franklin says he almost committed suicide because of cyberbullying

Posted: 31 Jul 2020 07:00 AM PDT

Nigerian music mogul, Ubi Franklin says he attempted suicide several years ago over cyberbullying.

Franklin says he became depressed after facing a lot of cyberbullying on Instagram.

The serial entrepreneur made this known via his Twitter page on Wednesday, July 29, 2020, while reacting to the viral video of a young man, Izu, reading his suicide note minutes before he killed himself.

Franklin said he was bullied on social media a few years ago which made him depressed and resulted in several failed attempts at committing suicide.

"I watched this video of IZU reading out his suicide note before he took his life and I remembered doing this several times 3 years ago unsuccessfully and I am here today," he tweeted.


"I got bullied so much on Instagram in the last two years that I started getting depressed again and this time I told myself "Ubi" who are these people talking about you? Do you know them or their families?"

"Everyone has something they are hiding and won't tell the public but go on social media to bully others of things that they also have done or their parents have or their brothers, sisters, and friends have done."


Franklin says he is using his platform to rewrite his wrongs because of the people who look up to him as their role model.

"So I started using my platform to speak against the mistakes I have made in life that I feel can be avoided by someone watching my lives or reading about how I have turned my dark days into brighter/ beautiful days and letting people know the truth that is not always told on SM," he tweeted.


"Social media is full of controlled narratives, the things that don't make social media that I know are many. Do married men come on social media to say they have multiple girlfriends? Or do married women come on social media to they have a side guy/guys?"

Franklin is a music entrepreneur and founder of record label Made Men Music Group (Triple MG).

The Madonna University-trained lawyer, doubles as the Special Adviser to the Cross River state governor on Tourism.

Genevieve Nnaji calls out actor Deyemi Okanlawon for making a joke of #WSW Challenge

The challenge requires women to post black and white photos on their page and pledge to support other women after being nominated.

The movie veteran, expressed her disgust after Okanlawon posted a photo of himself on his Instagram page, dressed as a woman.


What must have been a joke to the actor, however, didn't sit well with Nnaji as she slammed him for joking over a sensitive movement.

"We seek solace in humour to distract us from pain or discomfort. Tell me what it is you feel exactly? You see, that feeling that triggered you to make a joke of a movement that can only be understood by those it was meant for; the feeling of being overlooked or disregarded is part of the point of the challenge," she wrote.

"No one likes to feel invisible. You felt it for a second. Women feel it every day of their lives. Let us hold our own hands if we want to. Be ok with it. Not everything is about you or for laughs. Shalom."

In his defense, Okanlawon said the intent was only to make people laugh.


"Dear big sis @genevievennaji... I know your heart and I stan forever! ♥️♥️♥️ And to anyone else female/male who may have misconstrued the intent and felt bad," he wrote.

He however apologised to everyone including Nnaji who might have been offended by his actions.

"Do know that I see you and I'm truly sorry you feel that way. In these times we need all the love, support and smiles we can get! 🤗♥️🤗," he wrote.


He has since taken down the photos.
