Diiadem Blames Herself Over Dabota Lawson, Ehi Ogbebor Feud

Beauty entrepreneur and the RHOL star Adeola “Diiadem” Adeyemi posted a new message on Instagram after days of an open feud with former friend Dabota Lawson and interior designer Ehi Ogbebor.

In the post, Diiadem wrote that she holds herself most responsible for the situation: “the person I blame the most is still me.” She described her life as one shaped by setbacks and said she carries no regrets, closing the message with a call to self-love.

Reaction in her comment section was mixed. Several followers said she could not walk away from the dispute after naming others involved, including Sophia Momodu and Ehi Ogbebor. Others said the public should let her move on.

Earlier on Friday, a voice note attributed to Ehi Ogbebor began circulating online. In it, the speaker warns Diiadem to stay away from her in person and threatens a physical confrontation if their paths cross. The recording also made unverified claims about a past trip the two women allegedly took together to Uyo and about Diiadem’s financial circumstances at the time.

Ogbebor, who is reportedly close to Dabota Lawson, was drawn into the dispute after Diiadem referenced her while discussing businessman Olakunle Churchill, husband of actress Rosey Meurer. Diiadem had claimed Churchill rejected Ogbebor and that Dabota spent time trying to arrange the relationship. None of the claims involving Churchill and Ogbebor have been independently confirmed.

The fallout between Diiadem and Dabota Lawson, both cast members introduced in the third season of The Real Housewives of Lagos, became public earlier in the week when the two stopped following each other on social media. Neither addressed the cause directly until Thursday, August 13, when Diiadem posted a series of messages on Snapchat.

She accused Dabota of turning to bloggers whenever a friendship with her ends, and said the pattern became personal when her daughter’s photo appeared on a blog. She also said a transfer she once received and publicly acknowledged, worth 5 million naira, was later described to her as needing to be returned. “Get my name off your mouth, Dabota Lawson, and leave me alone,” she wrote.

Diiadem separately described lending Dabota 1 million naira during a meeting and said that Dabota repaid 1.5 million naira, along with an additional gift. She also raised a disagreement over money that was sprayed on her at a party.

Dabota Lawson replied the same day, denying that she leaks information to bloggers and saying she addressed a separate disagreement with Sophia Momodu directly on camera during the show. She said Diiadem applied for a funding opportunity that she herself secured but did not complete the required process, and pointed to her own store renovation and a new product launch as further sources of tension. “I dare you to publish the evidence supporting every allegation you have made,” she wrote, challenging Diiadem to be specific about what she believed had happened between them.

Screenshots of both women’s posts spread quickly across social media platforms.

As of Friday at noon, neither Dabota Lawson nor Ehi Ogbebor had posted a further public response to Diiadem’s latest statement.
