Her ex-husband, Rotimi Adeoye, was said to have made a video call to speak with his children after claims allegedly made by their daughter about him surfaced online.
In a post shared on Facebook and Instagram, Daniel, a family friend who has known them since 2005, shared his account of the rift.
According to him, Adeoye never abandoned his children, claiming he single-handedly raised their daughter for seven years while Omije Ojumi was in Nigeria.
He added that their first child, Oluwajomiloju, was born in London and alleged that before the singer agreed to a naming ceremony, she insisted her personal prophet must be present.

Daniel further alleged that a reference number was issued for the missing child case and that it could be obtained from security authorities in London.
Sharing more details, he claimed there was an incident during a six-hour journey where Bunmi Akinnaanu allegedly cursed some people she believed were against her.
He also shared a photo of the woman who reportedly cared for Oluwajomiloju while her father was at work, stating that the picture was taken in 2011.
According to Daniel, the issue involving Akinaanu and Adeoye was reported at 88.7 FM in 2024, but the matter was not pursued further because of the singer’s reputation as a gospel artist.
