Adeola Chizoba Adeyemi, popularly known as Diiadem, a cast member of The Real Housewives of Lagos and founder of Beauty by AD, has addressed swirling rumours about the source of her luxurious lifestyle.
Taking to Snapchat, Diiadem firmly dismissed allegations that her mansion was funded by a “sugar daddy.” According to an anonymous claim on a gossip blog, the property was supposedly linked to a man she was allegedly involved with, whose family residence was reportedly nearby.
In a fiery response, Diiadem clarified that the mansion was entirely self-funded. She challenged anyone to provide evidence if they had contributed in any way to the property.
Say whatever you like about me, but that mansion you’re all seeing? Every brick is my MONEY,” she declared. “I double dare anybody to come forward to take credit for what they didn’t do. And no, I’m not dating anyone that lives in that estate.”
Diiadem also criticized the narrative that attributes women’s success to men, calling it an outdated and damaging mindset.
In a follow-up post, she addressed the individual behind the accusations, demanding proof or an apology for spreading false information. She revealed that she purchased the land for the mansion in August 2022 and lamented that someone she trusted had leaked private details, now distorted with falsehoods.
Her bold response has sparked widespread support online, with many fans and followers commending her for speaking out against baseless allegations.
Sample Reactions:
-
@J_funmi: “Once a woman starts doing well for herself, some people will start tagging her success to a man. Can’t a woman succeed without the help of a man?”
-
@Officialparrotmouthblog: “Laziness, small-mindedness, and jealousy make people assume others’ success is tied to men. Not every girl jumps from one hotel bed to another to make it.”
-
@Iam_cutelove: “Women are working and winning in real life. I wonder when Nigerians will acknowledge and embrace that.”

@Mztollyhoni: “This is why I like Toke. She wouldn’t even respond to such rumors. Stay focused, Diiadem.”
