Dabota Lawson Defends Admiration for Married Olu of Warri: "Admiring Great Men Is Not a Bad Thing"

The allegation came amid a bitter public fallout between the two former friends, which has seen them trade accusations ranging from financial disputes to allegations involving married men and pregnancy.

In one of her responses, Diiadem publicly questioned Dabota's conduct, writing, "Or should we talk about your obvious admiration for Olori Atuwatse's husband? Someone you couldn't stop gushing about? LOL."

The remark quickly drew reactions from social media users, with some Nigerians calling on Dabota to stay away from the monarch, who is married to Olori Atuwatse III.

Defending herself against the backlash, Dabota dismissed the criticism, arguing that admiring accomplished men should not automatically be interpreted as romantic interest. She wrote, "I didn't know that admiring great men was suddenly a bad thing.

As Christians, don't women pray for their Boaz? And don't people openly have harmless celebrity crushes?" Her response, which has since gone viral, has drawn both support and criticism, with some agreeing that harmless admiration is natural while others maintaining that public figures should be mindful of how their words are perceived.

The exchange is the latest in a series of public clashes between Dabota and Diiadem, who were once close friends and business associates.

Their fallout, which has dominated social media conversations, has seen both women expose personal details about each other's lives, leaving fans divided over who is telling the truth.

As the feud continues, Dabota remains firm in her position, insisting that her admiration for the monarch is innocent and that she will not be shamed for respecting accomplished individuals.
