Nollywood actress Bimpe Akintunde has reacted to a viral audio recording currently circulating online involving Iyan Aladuke, the estranged wife of actor Femi Adebayo, and fellow actress Olatoun Olanrewaju.
The audio, which has gained widespread attention across social media platforms, has further fuelled public interest in the ongoing marital dispute involving the actor and his former partner.
In the recording, Iyan Aladuke is allegedly heard discussing plans to damage Femi Adebayo’s reputation and affect his family. The audio’s content has sparked varied reactions online, with several Nollywood figures weighing in.
Reacting to the controversy, Bimpe Akintunde shared a blunt message in Yoruba-infused English, distancing herself from marital issues involving colleagues.
“Considering the fact that Iyan Aladuke wan use Olatoun head break coconut, that’s why if I am close to a man, I no dey even look the wife face. And if na your wife be my person, I no even send your husband because mi o fe wahala. Ibi ti enu de ese o de be,” she said.
Her statement suggests a deliberate effort to avoid unnecessary drama, especially in situations involving married colleagues, citing personal boundaries and self-preservation.
Olatoun Olanrewaju, who shared the audio publicly, said she released it to defend herself against accusations that she played a role in the breakdown of the marriage. In a post accompanying the audio, she denied any involvement and placed responsibility squarely on Iyan Aladuke.
“You ended your marriage with your own hands. You know the truth and how you ruined your marriage. Stop this reverse psychological act on social media. You need serious help. I dare you—yes, I dare you—to show how I am to blame,” Olatoun wrote.
The controversy is part of a wider and ongoing crisis within the Adebayo household. Femi Adebayo and Iyan Aladuke married in October 2016 and share a child together. Over time, reports of separation, public exchanges, and personal allegations have kept their private lives in the public spotlight.
The situation attracted further attention after Iyan Aladuke’s popular restaurant in Yaba, Lagos, was temporarily shut down amid financial and legal concerns, adding another layer to the unfolding family drama.
As the dispute continues to play out online, reactions from industry colleagues highlight the growing tension and the broader conversation around boundaries, accountability, and public disputes in the entertainment space.
