Ubi Franklin is claiming he rolled out the big bucks for Iyanya‘s 27th Birthday Party.

On Thursday 31st October 2013, Nigerian music star Iyanya turned 27 years old. BN brought you all the photos from his visit to Ikoyi Prison (click here to see) and the birthday party (click here to see).

In an interview with Encomium Weekly (out now), the music manager spills the deets on the party. Check it out!
