Beauty entrepreneur Adeola Diiadem has broken her silence after Ehi shared excerpts from their private conversation online amid their ongoing public dispute.
In a video shared on social media, Diiadem expressed disappointment over being insulted for previously asking to use Ehi’s showroom for a photoshoot.
According to her, she had always believed that seeking help and building relationships were part of the journey for people trying to establish themselves in the influencer space. However, she said the experience had changed her view.
“Dear upcoming influencers, know who you go to for help,” she said, advising others to be cautious about the people they approach when seeking favours or assistance.
Diiadem also addressed allegations previously made by Ehi, challenging her to provide evidence for a claim that she had taken Diiadem to Uyo for what was described as “runs.”
“First of all, I dare you to show a single chat or phone record proving that you ever took me to Uyo for ‘runs,’ as you claimed in your voice note,” Diiadem wrote in one of her posts.
She further explained that she initially met Ehi through her former friend, Queen. Diiadem alleged that Ehi had shown interest in Queen and frequently attempted to introduce her to different men.
She said they later encountered each other at Movida Club several years ago, shortly after Ehi acquired a Range Rover.
According to Diiadem, she reached out to Ehi in 2020, when she was still at an early stage of her influencing career, to ask for permission to use her showroom as the location for a photoshoot.
Diiadem said Ehi agreed to the request, adding that their conversations from that period could support her version of events.
She also explained that the respect she previously showed Ehi was not connected to her social status but was simply a reflection of her upbringing.
“I’m a well-brought-up Yoruba woman, so the respect you’ve seen me show isn’t unusual. It’s simply how I was raised,” she stated.
Diiadem added that she would have shown the same courtesy to anyone whose space she wanted to use, regardless of the person’s status or position.
The latest exchange comes as both women continue to trade allegations publicly, with their private conversations now becoming part of the dispute.
