September 05, (THEWILL) – Going by the recent altercation between the Oluwo of Iwo land, Oba Abdulrasheed Adewale Akanbi Telu 1 and his estranged Jamaican born wife, Chanel Chin, it doesn’t look like there will be an end in sight to their unending media war. Before the breakup of their marriage, the monarch openly displayed affection for his wife and celebrated her at every given opportunity. He may have caused heart palpitations in some women, some of whom wished to be in Chanel’s shoes and others who wished their husbands showed them 1/10th of the affection the Oluwo showered on Chanel. But all that display of affection ended in 2019, after almost four years of marriage, with the monarch citing irreconcilable differences and Chanel accusing him of numerous vices, including raping her, sleeping with their 13-year-old maid and the daughter of a petty trader who plied her trade in front of his palace, as reasons for the collapse of the marriage. After the initial accusations and counter accusations, and argument on who to blame for the failure of the marriage, both parties appeared to move on with their lives until recently when the controversial monarch decided to wake up ‘sleeping dogs.’
While thanking God for being victorious over his enemy, the Oluwo said the certain ‘enemy’ he was referring to has a child for him. (Both the monarch and Chanel have a son together named Oduduwa). He added that the enemy recorded his private activities when they (he and the enemy) were together and attempted to extort him by threatening to release those recordings. He compared the ‘enemy’ to Toronto sisters, Jyoti and Kiran Matharoo, who both attempted to blackmail businessman Femi Otedola in 2017. The Oluwo referred to the sisters as known associates of his ‘enemy’.
Well, Chanel, who felt the monarch was referring to her as the supposed ‘enemy’ quickly launched a counter-attack. She referred to him as a “deadbeat father” and a “55-year-old man-boy” before accusing him again of lying to her that he was a bachelor. She claimed that he begged her for forgiveness when she found out he was married. Not done, she shared on her social media page, a picture of a cockroach getting into a car and captioned it “a rare picture of the Emir of Yorubaland entering his vehicle to drive himself mad.”
Chanel shared another picture of a sachet of milo and milk and captioned it, “Opening up a supermarket for me and Oduduwa with the money we got from the Emir of Yorubaland.”
She then advised mothers to teach their daughters about loyalty and how not to mistake it to mean accepting pain and physical abuse from broken men or boys.
