Leaked audio fuels Femi Adebayo, ex-wife’s feud

A fresh controversy has erupted around Nollywood actor and filmmaker Femi Adebayo following the circulation of a leaked audio recording that has intensified an ongoing feud involving his ex-wife, Omotayo Sanusi, and an actress linked to the dispute.

In the audio, which began trending on social media over the weekend, the actress is heard making allegations of harassment and intimidation, claiming she has been subjected to both physical and “spiritual” attacks, which she attributes to Adebayo’s ex-wife. The recording has sparked heated reactions online, with fans and industry observers weighing in on the claims.

It is unclear when or where the audio was recorded, and the allegations contained in it remain unverified. Neither the actress nor Omotayo Sanusi has provided documentary evidence to support the claims as of the time of reporting.

The development has renewed public attention on the strained relationship between the parties, which has previously played out on social media through cryptic posts and exchanges by supporters on both sides. However, Femi Adebayo himself is not heard in the leaked audio and has not been directly accused of wrongdoing in the recording.

Efforts to reach Femi Adebayo and Omotayo Sanusi for comments were unsuccessful as of press time. The actress at the centre of the leaked audio has also not issued an official statement clarifying or expanding on the allegations.

As the audio continues to circulate, industry stakeholders have urged caution, stressing the need for restraint and due process while warning against trial by social media. Observers note that the situation underscores the growing impact of leaked recordings and online narratives on the reputations of public figures in the entertainment industry.

The parties involved are yet to indicate whether legal action will be taken over the leaked audio or the allegations contained in it.
