She revealed that her marriage to the king was her dream fulfilled, recalling that she had casually mentioned they would be married even as friends.
She thanked God for giving her a husband who helped her overcome fears and anxieties, and cheered for fifty more years together. During a fallout with her friend Dabota Lawson, Diiadem accused her of admiring the Olu of Warri, claiming that Dabota couldn’t stop gushing over him. Following Diiadem’s statement, many Nigerians had dragged her for crushing on a married man. Responding, Dabota asked whether it was wrong to admire great men.
She noted how Christian women pray to marry a man like Boaz and noted how people openly have crushes on celebrities. Recall that Dabota Lawson got married in a talk-of-the-town wedding to billionaire businessman, Prince Sunny Aku. Unfortunately, the marriage didn’t last one year, as the couple separated in 2015. Years back, the beauty entrepreneur narrated how she suffered after divorcing her billionaire ex-husband.
She said she started her business under a mall staircase, and her friends mocked her for divorcing a billionaire to sell from there. She recounted being mocked for not taking anything out of the marriage. Hinting at the cause of her divorce, Dabota called out a former ex-beauty queen for sleeping with her ex-husband. She alleged that the lady slept with her ex-husband and had asked her ‘homie’ (close male friend) if he was the father of her daughter. Though not revealing the lady’s identity, she however, gave a hint to who she was.
