Davido and Chioma
Music executive Ubi Franklin has warned that legal action may be taken against individuals allegedly involved in coordinated online attacks targeting singer Davido, his wife Chioma Adeleke, and members of the Adeleke family.
In a series of posts by the self-acclaimed Chioma’s manager on X on Tuesday, Franklin suggested that those behind what he described as organised trolling and harassment would soon face law enforcement.
“You know people are evil right? The message I see on this group chat is just,” he wrote, hinting at disturbing content circulating in private chats allegedly targeted at the couple.
In a follow-up post, he issued a stronger warning: “One after the other, you will explain to the law enforcement what Chef Chi has done to all of you. Just keep opening groups to bully her.
“Her husband, me as her manager, and the entire family have your time now, and we will follow the rules, and you will be served.”
Franklin’s comments point to what he claims is a pattern of organised cyberbullying, allegedly carried out through multiple group chats and online communities.
According to him, the attacks go beyond casual criticism, involving repeated and targeted efforts to harass Chioma, popularly known as Chef Chi, as well as those around her.
He also described the behaviour as outright bullying, urging observers to call it what it is rather than dismiss it as routine celebrity criticism.
Chioma has frequently been at the centre of online scrutiny, largely due to her high-profile relationship with Davido.
Social media conversations around her often include criticism of her fashion and public appearances, commentary on her lifestyle and brand as a celebrity chef, spillover from fan rivalries involving Davido and other artists, and renewed attention tied to Davido’s past personal controversies.
