In a lengthy video making the rounds online, the skit maker shared his side of the story, alleging that Umenwa frustrated his wedding through vendors she introduced to him.
He warned that he was ready for a social media showdown if the actress claimed he was lying, adding that he would release WhatsApp chats to back up his claims.
Deacon Famous speaks on their fallout
In the video, Deacon Famous said he supported Umenwa during her wedding and even helped make her go viral. He further claimed that he covered part of the expenses for her wedding.
According to him, he had forgiven the actress but decided to clear the air, especially because his wife, whom he described as innocent, was dragged into the controversy.
He explained that he and his wife-to-be once visited Umenwa at her home, where she allegedly spoke negatively about another person whose birthday she had earlier celebrated.

He added that although he did not say anything against the person, rumours later spread that he was responsible for the comments. Deacon Famous said he confronted Umenwa over the issue and claimed that her mother later apologised on her behalf.
More allegations from Deacon Famous
The actor further alleged that while Umenwa was preparing for her wedding, he sent her a script, but she asked that the project be postponed until after her ceremony.
He claimed that even after the wedding, the actress repeatedly postponed the project before eventually fixing a date.
According to him, he transported 13 people from Lagos to Asaba and lodged them in a hotel, but Umenwa did not show up. He said it was her husband who later informed him that she was unavailable due to other engagements.
Deacon Famous added that his calls and messages went unanswered, though she later reached out to apologise, after which they began planning his own wedding.
In another part of the video, Deacon Famous alleged that after they reconciled, Umenwa offered to recommend vendors for his wedding. However, he claimed that the vendors ended up frustrating him, including a designer who allegedly delayed his wife’s wedding dress until a day before the ceremony.
