Reality TV star and beauty entrepreneur Dabota Lawson has publicly responded to allegations that she harbored an "obvious admiration" for the Olu of Warri, a married monarch with children. The accusation was made by her former friend and fellow makeup brand owner, Diiadem Adeola, amid a heated online feud between the two.
Feud Escalates Online
Dabota and Diiadem, once close friends, have been exchanging accusations and leaking personal secrets on social media. The revelations include claims of dating married men, getting pregnant for a married man, and involvement in prostitution, among other allegations.
The latest twist came when Diiadem responded to a call-out from Dabota by writing: "Or should we discuss how you were involved with your supposed friend's sister's husband? Saint? Please! Or should we talk about your obvious admiration for Olori Atuwatse's husband? Someone you couldn't stop gushing about? LOL."
Public Backlash and Dabota's Defense
Nigerians on social media quickly dragged Dabota, urging her to leave the married Olu of Warri alone. In response, Dabota commented under one of the critical posts, stating: "I didn't know that admiring great men was suddenly a bad thing. As Christians, don't women pray for their Boaz? And don't people openly have harmless celebrity crushes?"
The comment has further fueled the debate, with some supporting her right to admire public figures while others question the appropriateness of her remarks given the context of the feud.
Impact of the Public Spat
The ongoing dispute has drawn significant attention to both entrepreneurs, potentially affecting their public images and business reputations. As the drama continues to unfold online, observers speculate whether the two will resolve their differences or continue their public spat.
