It was gathered that Niyi later had a testimony and was doing thanksgiving on his car gift from Alhaji Kehinde Oloyede on the first Sunday of the year, when Seyi decided to celebrate with him, and they later got close, leading the two of them to become lovers.

The romance had reportedly started on a very good note such that Seyi felt secured in the hands of Niyi and she was ready to go to the moon to be by his side at all times.

However, sources said that the lovers started living like cat and rat on Thomas Street in Ojuolape Estate, a private estate with three streets around Olaniyi Street in New Oko Oba, Abule Egba, Lagos.

What ought to have been a cool, romantic adventure between the two artistes was said to have become an unpalatable relationship.

“They lived in a flat there and they used to fight regularly to the extent they were always separated by security men. Niyi used to beat Seyi black and blue during arguments. When they fought about a month ago, Niyi tried to drive off and the lady held the tyre of the car and got wounded in the process,” a source told us.

We were further informed that all these were creating a wider gap between the lovers, and Niyi was accused of being too much of a womaniser to the costernation of Seyi and her sympathisers.

Sources close to the estranged lovers wondered why Seyi decided to move in with Niyi, who they said is financially broke.

“It is still a big surprise to us that Seyi could settle for Niyi, who is financially broke. We all know him as a womaniser, which was what caused his separation from Toyin. Now he has gone back to his vomit, and only God knows if Seyi would be willing to reconcile with him,” said a source.
