June 12, (THEWILL) – Damilola Adeyemi, one of the young runaway queens of the late Alaafin of Oyo, Lamidi Adeyemi III, is seeking true love and has resorted to social media to find it.
Dami was a guest on a recent episode of a matchmaking show of Nollywood actor, Kehinde Adams, also known as Lege Miami.
Lege hosts a live show on Instagram where females and males seeking love can find potential suitors.
It was on one of those shows that the former Olori was spotted seeking love.
Introducing her to the show, Lege described her as a single mother and ‘Iyawo of the late Alaafin of Oyo.’
He then instructed her to place her phone firmly, move away from her phone, turn on her light and change from her Abaya to something more revealing. Lege specifically asked her to wear a short and round neck top.
Dami, during the hook-up show, said she wanted true love and a husband and Lege intermittently interjected the conversation, reminding her to speak in English and not Yoruba.
The then 23-year-old mother-of-one, in November 2020, had made headlines when she dumped the late monarch and fled the palace.
She was the third Olori to have left the marriage, shortly after her co-queen, Aanu, left.
However, one year later, Olori Damilola tendered a public apology to the monarch on her official Instagram account.
“I write this in tears and beg every good mother to please plead with my husband (Alaafin of Oyo) on my behalf to forgive me. And to all those that contributed money, when I get back to the palace, I will refund you, people,” she wrote
In addition to the apology, the ex-queen pleaded with Alaafin and the royal family to be allowed to return to the palace and accused her friends of leading her astray.
While many have criticised the former queen for putting herself out there, saying it is unheard of for a queen to marry, it is pertinent to note that Ifayemi Elebuibon, an Ifa priest, had clarified the issue of the former queens of Alaafin seeking love elsewhere.
He had said that the queens could either remarry after the late king’s burial rites or remain in the palace where the new king would inherit them as his wives.
