Franklin says he became depressed after facing a lot of cyberbullying on Instagram.

Nigerian music mogul, Ubi Franklin says he attempted suicide several years ago over cyberbullying.

The serial entrepreneur made this known via his Twitter page on Wednesday, July 29, 2020, while reacting to the viral video of a young man, Izu, reading his suicide note minutes before he killed himself.

Franklin said he was bullied on social media a few years ago which made him depressed and resulted in several failed attempts at committing suicide.

I watched this video of IZU reading out his suicide note before he took his life and I remembered doing this several times 3 years ago unsuccessfully and I am here today,” he tweeted.

I got bullied so much on Instagram in the last two years that I started getting depressed again and this time I told myself “Ubi” who are these people talking about you? Do you know them or their families?”
