Ubi Franklin Clamps Down on Pregnancy to Keep Female Artistes’ Careers on Track
In the world of music management, timing can be everything—especially when it comes to family planning. Ubi Franklin, the head honcho of Made Men Music Group (Triple MG), recently revealed why he insists on a very strict “no pregnancy” rule for his female artistes.
Speaking candidly on the Culture Sonic podcast, Franklin explained that pregnancy can seriously derail an artiste’s momentum, making it tough to bounce back in an industry where consistency is key.
“Imagine investing in a female artiste only for her to get pregnant—her career basically hits pause. It’s hard to come back from that,” he said. “I’m not against having children, but the career has to be solid first. Whenever I sign a female artiste, the contract includes a clause that she won’t get pregnant during the contract period.”
Franklin’s perspective sheds light on the challenging balancing act female artistes face, juggling personal life and the demanding pace of building a music career. By setting firm boundaries, he aims to protect his artistes’ growth and ensure continuous progress without setbacks.
