    Tim Godfrey reacts as Davido vibes to song at Miami wedding

    Gospel singer Tim Godfrey has shared thoughts on seeing Davido vibe to his song at the music star’s recent white wedding in Miami.

    According to Tim Godfrey, this moment stirred something within him, reminding him of his calling to influence the world and spread the gospel.

    He emphasised that not all gospel artists are meant to stay within the church; some are called to reach a broader audience through mainstream channels.

    Tim Godfrey stressed that his mission is to reach people beyond the church walls, and he won’t be limited by traditional labels.

    He wrote: “This really stirred something within me; many of us don’t understand why we do what we do. We are called to influence the world and take over it for Christ! I’m not going to play small about my labour for the gospel because the church is yet to see that not all of us are called for the four corners of the church! Some of us are sent mainstream to reach out to the stray.

    I never stole a luxury wristwatch at Davido’s Miami wedding – Ubi Franklin

    Music executive Ubi Franklin has denied allegations of stealing a luxury wristwatch at Davido‘s Miami wedding. 

    In a statement, Franklin explained that a jeweller, Benny, had offered to sell him a watch but he declined due to concerns over its previous ownership. 

    According to him, Benny’s brother later delivered another watch to him during the wedding ceremony, which he claimed to have purchased and paid for in full. 

    Franklin stated that he wore the purchased watch during the event while he still held on to the previous one, maintaining that he is not a thief. 

    He added that he has never stolen from anyone in his life, attributing the controversy to misinformation and expressed appreciation for the support he received during this challenging time, as he prepares for his sister’s funeral.

    He wrote on X: “I am currently aware of the recent circulation on social media linking my name to an alleged theft. I wish to make it clear that these allegations are completely false and misleading.

    “Recently, I returned from my dear Friend/sister’s wedding and I am currently preparing for my sister’s funeral this coming weekend. It is an extremely difficult and sensitive time for me and my family, but I feel it is important to address this matter directly.

    “While in Miami, Benny met me and offered to sell me a wristwatch. After reviewing the item and confirming its previous ownership, I decided not to purchase it in order to avoid any potential complications. I clearly communicated that him.

    “During the wedding church service, Benny sent his brother with another wristwatch to me .that which I had purchased and paid in full. 
    Given the busy circumstances surrounding the wedding, I was in possession of both wristwatches and wore the one he sent to me through his brother. 

    “After the wedding, I had to leave Miami immediately to finialize my sister’s funeral coming up this weekend. While airborne, I was contacted by Benny regarding the other wristwatch. 

    “I want to state clearly: I am not a thief. I have never stolen from anyone in my life. I purchased a wristwatch and paid in full from Benny. Benny had earlier in the day debunked this news and yet it still kept spreading.
    I appreciate the calls and messages
    This is my final word on this”.
