In a series of detailed Snapchat posts documented by **Punch Newspapers**, beauty entrepreneur and former *Real Housewives of Lagos* star Adeola “Diiadem” Adeyemi exposed the bitter breakdown of her friendship with Dabota Lawson over an alleged fake N5m birthday transfer. Diiadem shared transaction receipts showing a N5m transfer sent by Lawson in January 2026 that was immediately requested back under the guise of playing “girls game” for social media clout.
Reacting to the allegations in a public response, **Dabota Lawson** posted on Instagram, stating, “I sprayed more than that amount at her birthday celebration and brought people who supported her.” Following up on the drama, lifestyle blog **Gistlover** reported that “Diiadem tackled Dabota Lawson as she confirmed affairs and accused fellow socialites of involvement,” leading to trade-offs of voice notes and legal threats.
**Echotitbits Take:**
This blowout reflects the ongoing toxicity surrounding public “gifting culture” among top Nigerian influencers, where staged financial displays are used to drive viral clout. As personal accusations escalate to involve high-profile businessmen, expect legal cease-and-desist letters to follow shortly if brand sponsorships begin pulling out.
