However Yemi Alade who has been rumoured to be in an intimate relationship with her manager, Taye Aliyu has somewhat denied anything of such happening.

In an interview with Naij, the Effyzie singer said although there is nothing really wrong with such relationships occurring but managers are primarily close to artistes ‘to take care of their careers’.

This led to the actress and the actor having a back and forth argument on Twitter, creating a friction between them since then.

However on Tuesday, Yvonne Nelson revealed that she has patched things up with John Dumelo sharing a picture and a video with the actor on Instagram as proof of their reconciliation.
