‘Stop tarnishing our dad’s name’ — kids of late Alaafin threaten to sue Dami

The children of Lamidi Adeyemi, the late Alaafin of Oyo, have warned Damilola Adeyemi, his ex-wife, over alleged defamatory remarks about their father.

In an Instagram post on Friday, Aminat Adeyemi, a daughter of the late monarch, shared a letter warning Dami to stop “tarnishing our father’s reputation”.

In the letter dated January 22, Alaafin’s children accused her of making “disrespectful and harmful” remarks about their family.

They also threatened to take legal action against the entrepreneur if she continued to mention their father’s name in interviews.

“It has come to our attention that DAMILOLA SUKURAT MOSHOOD (popularly called Queen Dami) has been making public remarks regarding our late father in various interviews,” the letter reads.

“While we respect everyone’s freedom of speech, we find it necessary to address this matter as these statements have become increasingly disrespectful and harmful to our family’s reputation.

“We hereby request that you cease making any further public statements involving our late father’s name or legacy.

“These comments are not only inaccurate but also unnecessary, especially considering your prior status and circumstances. You are no longer a part of the family or his legacy, and as such, we expect you to respect the boundaries of our family matters.

“We urge you to pursue your endeavors without dragging our father’s name into public conversations.

“Any further remarks that tarnish his memory or our family name will not be tolerated, and we reserve the right to take appropriate legal or reputational actions if necessary.

“We hope this serves as a clear and final warning. Let us all move forward with dignity and respect.”

The Alaafin passed away in April 2022.

Since Dami started dating singer Portable in 2023, the pair have been in the news for controversial reasons.
