Popular entrepreneur and beauty mogul, Diiadem has sparked widespread conversation online after opening up about a painful and unforgettable encounter she had with Nollywood actress Biola Bayo many years ago.
The revelation came after Biola Bayo made a post lamenting the increasing cost of Aso Ebi at Nigerian weddings. While many people reacted lightly, Diiadem dropped a shocking comment that immediately went viral.
According to her, the actress once embarrassed her on a movie set and made her perform a humiliating task she never forgot.
Diiadem wrote:
“I remember how this lady made me clean her shoes one time. I followed my step mum to a movie set those days. I wasn’t even an actress, but she made me do it.”
Sharing more details, Diiadem — now the founder and CEO of Beauty by AD — said the incident happened around 2009/2010 when she was still trying to find her footing in the entertainment world. She recalled knowing Biola at the time as “Abisola Eyin Oka,” a name the actress was popularly called back then.
She explained that the encounter left her feeling belittled and disrespected, but she kept quiet for years. Now, she said she felt no fear speaking her truth, regardless of how people may interpret it online.
In response, Biola Bayo reacted humorously with a comment that showed a mix of surprise and light-heartedness. She wrote:
“Ema ma tun gba mi kee!!! Ewo tun ni shoe cleaner bayi,” meaning, “Help me oo, what is this shoe cleaning matter again?”
Her playful reaction quickly stirred more engagement, with fans sharing mixed opinions — some sympathizing with Diiadem, others defending Biola Bayo.
The encounter has reignited conversations about how upcoming actors and crew members are treated on Nollywood sets, as many people began sharing similar experiences of disrespect and hierarchy in the industry.
Diiadem’s bold revelation, paired with Biola Bayo’s lighthearted reply, has kept social media buzzing, proving that even incidents from over a decade ago can still trigger strong reactions today.
