RHOLagos Friendship Turns Sour as Diiadem Accuses Dabota Lawson of Smear Campaign

The once-close friendship between beauty entrepreneurs and reality television stars Adeola “Diiadem” Adeyemi and Dabota Lawson has taken a dramatic turn, with the pair now embroiled in a public fallout involving serious allegations.

Diiadem took to her Snapchat account on Thursday, August 13, to call out Lawson, accusing her former friend of allegedly orchestrating a smear campaign against her through popular entertainment blogs.

One of the major claims made by Diiadem centred on the N5 million cash gift Lawson reportedly gave her during her birthday celebrations in January.

According to Diiadem, the gesture was merely for public appearance, alleging that the entire N5 million was returned to Lawson shortly after it was transferred to her.

Diiadem also suggested that she knows more about Lawson’s personal and business affairs and warned that she could reveal further information if the situation escalates.

The public fallout marks a sharp departure from the close relationship the two women previously shared after becoming friends on The Real Housewives of Lagos.

Their friendship had attracted considerable attention, with the pair frequently appearing together and publicly celebrating each other.

However, speculation about a possible rift began several months ago after Diiadem failed to publicly acknowledge Lawson’s birthday, despite their previously visible friendship.

The silence contrasted with Lawson’s earlier public show of affection for Diiadem, including an emotional birthday tribute she shared on Instagram in April.

Lawson also made headlines during Diiadem’s birthday celebration over her reported presentation of the N5 million cash gift.

With Diiadem now alleging that the money was returned and accusing Lawson of attempting to damage her reputation, their once-public friendship has taken a dramatic turn.

Neither Lawson’s response nor an independent confirmation of Diiadem’s allegations was included in the claims circulating at the time of publication.
