Popular disc jockey and social media personality Oluwabukola Rachel Martins, widely known as DJ Dimple Nipple, has ignited a firestorm across social platforms after publishing a series of explosive accusations against her former boyfriend, detailing alleged physical assault, emotional manipulation, and blackmail that occurred approximately three years ago.
In a candid and emotionally charged series of posts, the DJ revealed her harrowing experience of what she describes as systematic abuse at the hands of her ex-partner. “I will never allow anyone to treat me the way I was treated during that relationship,” she declared, attaching photographic and video evidence that appears to document physical injuries she sustained during the relationship.
The DJ’s revelations paint a disturbing picture of coercive control and isolation tactics allegedly employed by her former partner. According to her testimony, she endured not only physical violence but also suffered from intense psychological manipulation. “He controlled who I could speak with, stalked my movements, and dictated every aspect of my life,” she stated in one particularly poignant post.
Financial abuse featured prominently in her allegations as well. Despite what she characterizes as her partner’s controlling behavior in other aspects of their relationship, DJ Dimple Nipple claims she was paradoxically expected to shoulder significant financial responsibilities. I had to pay for bills and my own expenses even while being subjected to his control in every other area,” she wrote, highlighting the contradictory nature of the alleged abuse.
The decision to come forward after three years appears to be driven by a determination to seek accountability. In her posts, DJ Dimple Nipple expressed regret about remaining in the relationship as long as she did, while simultaneously demonstrating resolve that her former partner should face consequences for his alleged actions. I stayed silent for too long, but I won’t allow him to escape responsibility for what he did,” she asserted.
Domestic violence specialists note that her experience aligns with recognized patterns of abusive relationships. Dr. Folake Ademola, a psychologist specializing in trauma and domestic abuse, explains: “What we’re seeing described here contains many classic elements of coercive control—isolation from support networks, emotional manipulation, financial control despite imposing financial burdens, and physical violence. The combination of these tactics often leaves victims feeling trapped and powerless.”
The public nature of her allegations has sparked considerable dialogue about intimate partner violence in Nigeria. While many social media users have rallied behind DJ Dimple Nipple with messages of support and solidarity, others have questioned the wisdom of addressing such sensitive matters on public platforms rather than through legal channels.
Legal expert Barrister Chidi Okonkwo observes: “While social media can provide victims a voice and community support, it’s important to remember that legal remedies remain available even years after abuse occurs. Documentation of injuries, as the DJ appears to have preserved, can be valuable evidence in both criminal proceedings and civil suits seeking damages.
The timing of her revelation comes amid growing awareness of domestic violence issues in Nigeria. Women’s rights advocate Amina Suleiman notes: “We’re seeing more survivors finding courage to speak out about their experiences. Each public testimony helps chip away at the culture of silence that has historically surrounded domestic abuse in our society.
DJ Dimple Nipple has built a significant following through her work as a disc jockey and her vibrant social media presence. Her willingness to share such personal trauma marks a significant departure from her typically upbeat content, underscoring the seriousness with which she approaches these allegations.
Mental health professionals emphasize that coming forward about abuse often represents an important step in the healing process for survivors. “Speaking one’s truth can be tremendously empowering after experiences where one’s agency and voice were suppressed,” explains clinical psychologist Dr. Benjamin Adeyemi. However, it’s also important that survivors have proper support systems in place when revisiting traumatic experiences.
The accused former boyfriend has not yet publicly responded to the allegations as of press time. Legal experts note that defamation concerns sometimes prevent alleged abusers from making public statements, particularly when evidence has been presented.
As the story continues to develop, advocacy organizations have used the moment to highlight resources available to those experiencing domestic violence. No one should endure abuse in silence,” states Bimbo Oshin of the Women’s Support Network. Whether it happened yesterday or years ago, support services remain available to survivors seeking help or justice.”
The DJ’s courageous disclosure occurs against the backdrop of Nigeria’s ongoing struggle with addressing gender-based violence effectively. Despite legislation like the Violence Against Persons Prohibition Act, implementation and enforcement challenges persist across much of the country.
DJ Dimple Nipple’s story has resonated particularly strongly with younger Nigerians active on social media platforms, where conversations about consent, healthy relationships, and accountability have gained significant traction in recent years.
As her posts continue to circulate widely, they serve as both a personal testimony and a broader statement about refusing to remain silent in the face of abuse. Her closing words—”Never again will I allow anyone to treat me this way”—stand as a powerful declaration of reclaimed agency and a warning to those who perpetrate abuse.
Whether her allegations will translate into formal legal action remains to be seen, but the public nature of her testimony has already accomplished one important goal: bringing further visibility to issues of intimate partner violence and encouraging others who may be suffering in silence to recognize they are not alone.
