Triple MG Boss, Ubi Franklin, in an exclusive interview revealed how getting married to his beautiful wife, Lilian Esoro, and the birth of their son, are the greatest things to happen to him. Read the interview below…
How do you combine your family life with you music business?
It is hectic, very hectic. I am 30 years old but I know I am doing very well, handling all that together. It’s been great. It’s difficult but I am trying. Once you want something, you have to go for it.
For a while, your private life has been on the news, your wife, son and marriage, what is the truth?
It is my private life, so I want it to remain private.
How do you feel about people having an opinion about your life, interpreting every single move you make?
It is the life I chose. You see, a lot things happen in lives of people, but you don’t know about it. A lot of things happen in the music industry that people don’t know about. The stories are making me more popular and I am monetizing it. Opinions are welcome but it doesn’t define a person.
Would you advise a celebrity to get married to a fellow celebrity just like you did?
Yeah. You see marriage is, if you are ready, you have to face the consequences for it. Getting married is one of the greatest things that happened to me and the greatest thing that happened to me after marriage is childbirth. My son is the greatest gift I have ever received in my life. If you must get married, make sure you focus on your home, and take care of your kids. Once you have children, it changes everything.
How has the birth of your son changed you? What do you usually do that you stopped since the birth of your child?
I came here in an uber. That is because I just feel like most times, driving all the big cars is trying to define who you are. I told someone, the day you see me walking on the street with a towel and in shorts, just know that the only person that can tell me “I am very embarrassed at what you are doing,” is my son. So because of my son, there are a lot of things I will no longer do. I used to be a very angry person but I am not amymore. I could hardly apologize to anybody before but from the 17th of July, when I am angry, whether you are the one that offended me or not, because I want to have personal peace, I apologize. Right now, if my son says ‘daddy let’s jump’, I will jump. Money is not even what I want most in this life, peace is what I want.
