You Can’t Silence Me Anymore – Actor Femi Adebayo’s Ex-Wife, Iyan Aladuke Calls Him Out Over Eviction, Marriage Crisis

Omotayo Sanusi, also known as Iyan Aladuke and the ex-wife of Nollywood actor Femi Adebayo, has criticised the actor over the controversy surrounding her alleged eviction from a Lagos property and their marital crisis.

This comes after a family member defended Femi Adebayo over the eviction and backlash on social media.

Iyan Aladuke recently cried out about the shutdown of her business due to circumstances beyond her control, which generated reactions on social media, with claims that Adebayo had abandoned her.

However, a family member, Taiwo Abdulmalik, in an interview with Punch, said Iyan Aladuke was aware of the circumstances that led to her eviction from the Lagos property.

Abdulmalik said the development was the result of a bank recovery process and not a deliberate action by Femi.

According to her, Adebayo purchased the property through a bank loan, and the bank later commenced foreclosure after repayment issues arose.

In response to the publication and to narrating her ordeal, Iyan Aladuke spoke about going through tough times and said she never intended to take the matter to social media.

Iyan Aladuke said that the lies being told about her were beginning to fall apart, while the truth about her ex-husband’s character was gradually coming to light.

According to her, Femi Adebayo brought about 20 men to evict them and expected the incident not to attract public attention, stressing that her aged mother was thrown out by men carrying guns.

Speaking further, Iyan Aladuke said Femi Adebayo has always been desperate to save his name and unbothered who goes down, but she will no longer keep silent anymore.

She also claimed that the actor had staged a visit to his son’s school after abandoning him for a year.

She wrote, “I’m going through a tough time and really didn’t want to air it on social media, but here I am. Last year, I was bashed and falsely accused, but thank God for the good people around me who stood by me. Now it seems the tables have turned-what was meant to disgrace me has turned to glory. 

“The lies are falling apart, and people are seeing the true character. I can see the desperation, the damage control. What did you expect when you took almost 20 armed men to a public place to evict people? Of course, the news would spread! You started it, keep fueling. My aged mother was thrown out with a gun, knowing fully well she’ll be there as she comes around to help me with my child! Who are you to talk to me about God! You don’t know God! You only put up the act.

“You always want to silence me by targeting my reputation. I’m done keeping quiet! You can’t silence me anymore! The desperation to save your name, you don’t care who goes down! I’m not going down with your lies! Whoever published those false narratives in Punch Newspapers should retract them. I’m only quiet because of my son-please don’t push me! 

“You staged a visit to his school on Wednesday after being absent for a whole year, even when your office is just a few minutes’ walk from home! You took a picture to garnish your image, watched us thrown out of my marital home on Friday, and now published the visit in Punch. I knew what was coming the moment I was told of your impromptu visit and picture play.”

Crisis Rocks Nigerian Actor, Femi Adebayo’s Marriage As Wife Clashes With Actress

A marital controversy is unfolding in actor Femi Adebayo’s household, as his wife, Iyana Aladuke, and actress Olatoun Olanrewaju engage in a public clash on social media.

The disagreement has drawn attention due to accusations exchanged between the two women about the troubles in the Adebayo household.

Aladuke accused Olanrewaju of betrayal, claiming that while the actress appeared to celebrate their family publicly, she secretly contributed to the breakdown of the marriage.

She wrote, “The betrayal cuts deep. How could you destroy something beautiful? You were celebrating us publicly and also planning to destroy the home, unknown to me. 10 days after this your post (second slide), the home scattered. Thanks to you. Even if I fall, you should be the one lifting me up. Even in my mistakes, you should be covering me up. You were like my sister. You are ev!l.”

Olanrewaju responded by rejecting any blame, stating that the issues in the marriage were caused by Aladuke herself.

She criticised Aladuke for using social media to attack her and described the accusations as misleading and unfair.

She wrote, “Hey, Iyanaladuke, I am not the reason for your downfall… If I’m found guilty of anything, I will take the blame, ENI BURU MO.”

In another post, she added, “I have stomach all this nonsense from you for too long… You ended your marriage with your hands… Stop this reverse psychological act on social media. You need serious help… I’m waiting for your response.”

This public feud follows months of tension in the Adebayo household, including a period when the couple unfollowed each other on Instagram.

Aladuke had previously shared throwback videos showing happy family moments and playful clips with Femi, hinting at reconciliation.

Fans were surprised by the sudden public escalation, especially after Aladuke’s earlier grand celebration of Femi’s birthday, which included inviting a musical artiste to their home.

Funke Akindele Shows Support to Colleague, Femi Adebayo, Promotes His New Movie

Nigerian actress and filmmaker Funke Akindele has shown support to colleague, Femi Adebayo.
She helped the actor promote his new film, Seven Doors.
Akindele in a post on her page on Monday, wrote:
“Dem don open door o!!!!!💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽”
 
“Can’t wait to see this Limited series #sevendoors by @femiadebayosalami. Congrats Femi!!! This one go loud o!!! Out on #Netflix December 13!!! Legggooooooo.”
 
Recall that in an interview with Independence in August, Femi Adebayo suggested that his new project would be “better than Jagun Jagun.”
He also talked about the film’s special setting:
 
“The next movie that I said is bigger than Jagun Jagun is titled Seven Doors. It’s set in two eras—the 18th century and the 19th century—which means we have the old-school setting with those 504s and Volkswagens, and it also takes us back to that kind of Jagun Jagun environment.
 
“It’s a mix, featuring multiple tribes. It’s about a Yoruba king married to an Igbo woman, with a Hausa man coming to invest. It’s a showcase of Nigerian culture.”
