How Iyanya Lost Everything to His Own Manager | The Shocking Story of Iyanya
Once a mega superstar loved by millions, Iyanya had it all — fame, awards, endorsements, and the love of the people. But behind the scenes, a darker story was unfolding.
In this emotional documentary, we reveal the true story of Iyanya: from winning Project Fame and topping charts with hits like Kukere and Your Waist, to being betrayed by his manager Ubi Franklin, facing fraud allegations, and losing everything he built.
This is not just a celebrity story… It’s a lesson in ownership, contracts, and how music industry betrayal can destroy even the biggest stars.
Iyanya was declared wanted by the Nigerian Police. He was arrested for car theft. He lost his label. He watched Tekno rise while he disappeared.
But what really happened?
Why did his label Made Men Music Group (MMMG) push him out?
Did he really lose everything to a friend?
In this powerful music documentary 2025, we tell the real-life artist story of Iyanya — once a shining star in Afrobeats, now a painful reminder of how fame without structure can destroy a career.
From winning Project Fame to releasing hit songs like Kukere, Iyanya was on top… until it all came crashing down. This is a deeply inspirational African story — but also a celebrity betrayal story that will leave you shocked.
It’s more than just drama. This video is a cautionary tale for artists, managers, and creatives. If you’re navigating the Nigerian music drama space, or chasing fame without ownership — this story will open your eyes.
We dive deep into the artist vs manager conflict between Iyanya and Ubi Franklin, exposing what really happened behind the fame — and revealing the secrets of the industry that no one tells you until it’s too late.
