  "account": "The once-close friendship between The Real Housewives of Lagos stars Adeola \"Diiadem\" Adeyemi and Dabota Lawson has deteriorated into a public social media fallout. Both women, beauty entrepreneurs, had a strong bond built on their shared love for the beauty industry. They were both cast members in the third season of the show. However, their relationship took a turn for the worse, leading to both women accusing each other of various wrongdoings.\n\nDiiadem alleged that Dabota had involved bloggers in spreading information about her, and that she was asked to return a ₦5m transfer she received from Dabota for her birthday. She also accused Dabota of sharing her information with bloggers, causing distress when her daughter's image appeared on a blog. Diiadem ended her post by stating that she wanted to be left out of further drama.\n\nDabota responded to Diiadem's allegations, asking her to specifically state what she believed she had done to cause the fallout. She denied any wrongdoing, claiming that Diiadem had approached her with a funding opportunity, which Dabota had also applied for but failed to follow through with. Dabota also brought up a disagreement with Sophia Momodu, stating that they had addressed the issue directly on the show. She challenged Diiadem to provide evidence for her allegations.\n\nFinancial disputes also surfaced in the dispute. Diiadem claimed she had borrowed ₦1 million from Dabota during a meeting and repaid her with ₦1.5 million, adding extra for her daughter. Dabota denied the claim and questioned Diiadem about the $10,000 funding opportunity and a project involving Jarvis. The disagreement has now spilled over to social media, with screenshots of their Snapchat posts circulating widely.",
