Beauty entrepreneur Adeola Diiadem has responded after Ehi shared excerpts of their private conversation online amid their ongoing public feud.
In a video, Diiadem expressed frustration over being insulted over a past request to use Ehi’s showroom for a photoshoot.
She explained that, as an upcoming influencer, she believed seeking help and building relationships were part of the growth process. However, she said the experience had changed her perspective and advised others to be more cautious about who they approach for favours.
“Dear upcoming influencers, know who you go to for help,” she said.
Diiadem also challenged some of Ehi’s previous allegations, demanding evidence to support a claim that Ehi had taken her to Uyo for “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,” she wrote.
According to Diiadem, she initially met Ehi through her former friend, Queen, whom she claimed Ehi had shown interest in and allegedly tried to connect with different men.
She said they later met again at Movida Club years ago, shortly after Ehi purchased her Range Rover.
Diiadem further revealed that she contacted Ehi in 2020, when she was still at the early stage of her influencing career, to ask for permission to use her showroom for a photoshoot. She said Ehi agreed to the request and noted that their conversations from that period could support her account.
Addressing the respect she previously showed Ehi, Diiadem said it 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 wrote.
She added that she would extend the same respect to anyone whose space she needed to use, regardless of their social status.
