Speaking with considerable force, she pushed back against the claims and listed various ways she and others had also contributed financially to the household and to individual family members.

What Toluwanisings' aunt said in the leaked audio

Iya Taiwo challenged the idea that any single person was the sole provider, pointing out that another relative named Segun had, on one occasion, sent a refrigerator all the way from Apapa, Lagos, after she reached out to him.

She expressed embarrassment at having to call Segun for the item but said she was left with no option after repeated refusals from the person she was addressing.

She also disclosed that she contributed financially towards Taiwo's japa trip to the United Kingdom, further arguing that even customers of their late father whom the family barely knew had donated money at some point.

"If you like, go and report me to anyone you want; I don't care. Do you think you're the only one financing him?" she said in the recording. "I called Segun only once, and he sent me refrigerator all the way from Apapa, Lagos. I was ashamed to call him, but when you constantly refused to buy it for me, I had no option but to call him."

Netizens react to the viral audio

The leaked recording triggered a wave of reactions online, with many users expressing shock, sympathy and sharp criticism of the family dynamics on display.
