Nigerians have shown solidarity in raising funds for Queen Damilola Adeyemi, the estranged wife of the late Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi. The initiative follows reports of her difficult circumstances since parting ways with the royal palace and her brief association with popular singer Portable.
Queen Dami, who has recently been the subject of public concern, expressed gratitude for the outpouring of support.
She also made a resolute declaration, vowing never to return to the controversial relationship with Portable, which she described as an “irreversible mistake.”
“I’m thankful for the love and support. This is a new chapter for me, and I’m determined to rebuild my life with dignity,” she said in an emotional statement.
Nigerians to the Rescue
Social media campaigns under hashtags like #HelpQueenDami and #NewBeginningsForDami have gained momentum, with individuals and organizations coming together to provide financial aid and emotional support for the young queen.
Prominent figures, including socialites and philanthropists, have pledged to assist her in starting afresh, away from the controversies that have surrounded her life.
Public Reactions
While some applauded the queen for her resolve to regain independence, others used the opportunity to criticize Portable, urging him to focus on his music career rather than personal drama.
The story of Queen Dami is a poignant reminder of resilience and the importance of community support in helping individuals reclaim their path.\
