Olajumoke Orisaguna, the bread seller turned model who shot to stardom after a chance photoshoot with rapper Tinie Tempah in 2016, has opened up about her harrowing experiences of domestic abuse and the struggles that derailed her once-promising career.
In an emotional interview with City FM, Olajumoke—fondly known as Olajumoke Onibread—revealed how her ex-husband, Sunday Orisaguna, subjected her to physical and emotional abuse during their turbulent relationship.
Recalling life in Ire, Osun State, where the couple lived in her husband’s family house, Olajumoke painted a grim picture of relentless hostility from her mother-in-law and violent outbursts from her husband.
“Whenever I had misunderstandings with his mother, he would beat me to the extent that my face and body would be swollen. Sometimes, he would even use a belt,” she said, her voice heavy with pain.
Despite enduring years of violence, Olajumoke initially stayed silent, fearing her mother’s reaction and lacking support. However, she made the bold decision to leave in January 2016 after a particularly brutal incident.
“I packed my load and brought my two children with me to Lagos because I couldn’t leave them there. I explained everything to my friend at the bakery, and she was happy I had finally left,” Olajumoke shared.
Her story also touched on how the separation and subsequent fallout impacted her career. She accused her ex-husband of tarnishing her reputation, leading to professional setbacks.
Olajumoke’s rise to fame had once captured the nation’s imagination—a story of incredible transformation from obscurity to the limelight after accidentally walking into a photoshoot with British rapper Tinie Tempah, captured by celebrity photographer TY Bello. But now, her journey reflects the struggles many women face behind closed doors, even in the wake of public success.
The revelations have sparked widespread reactions, with fans and advocates calling for more support for survivors of domestic abuse. Olajumoke’s brave decision to speak out shines a light on the importance of empowering women to leave abusive relationships and rebuild their lives.
Her story serves as a stark reminder that fame does not shield anyone from hardship and that true success lies in resilience and self-preservation.
