Music executive Ubi Franklin has threatened legal action 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 shared on X on Tuesday, Franklin—who identifies himself as Chioma’s manager—alleged that certain groups have been orchestrating sustained trolling and harassment campaigns against the couple.
“You know people are evil right? The message I see on this group chat is just,” he wrote, hinting at disturbing conversations circulating in private chats allegedly targeted at Chioma.
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 described as 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 Adeleke 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 the singer and other artists, and renewed attention tied to Davido’s past personal controversies.
