With Iyanya, we were going through the same trip, I was on my journey, he was on his journey, we had somewhere we had to stop to relax, we stopped there, did our music business, built our brands, and it was time for us to move on to the next thing. He\u2019s not doing badly, I am not doing badly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When asked about the turbulent years that had his marriage and business crumbling at the same time, Ubi Franklin who has four kids from four different women said, \u201cI don\u2019t wish that for anyone. Three things happened; my son came, I was happy, but the marriage and business were in a storm. It was a tough time. It was one of those times when you could kill yourself and not feel it. There were times I will pin something on my skin so deep just to feel the pains and be distracted from the real pain I was feeling inside.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt that time, all I could think of was, after all my sufferings, let it be that Ubi Franklin died in a C300. A newly acquired C300\u2026 That was what was going through my head. When you\u2019re going through pains and frustration, you\u2019ll think about a lot of things. I felt that having bought that car, I could go kill myself,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa Press-Nigeria: CEO and music executive of Made Men Music, Ubi Franklin has revealed how he bought a new car so he could kill himself to avoid all the many troubles that were springing up in his life in the past.
