Businesswoman Adeola Adeyemi, popularly known as Diiadem, has said she is currently single and unwilling to settle for less in her relationships.

She made the disclosure during a house tour with content creator Jarvis, where she reflected on her personal life and evolving expectations in relationships.

The 35-year-old entrepreneur said she believes many men are intimidated by successful women, adding that her current stage in life requires a partner who exceeds her standards.

“I am very single. I feel like most guys are scared of successful women. At this stage in my life, anyone who wants to be with me has to be ten times better,” she said.

Diiadem added that she is no longer interested in relationships where she has to take on a supportive or developmental role alone, noting that she now prefers mutual growth.

She said she wants a partner who will also contribute meaningfully to her life and ambitions, rather than one she would constantly have to support.

"Cause I’m actually really done with dullards, people that I am trying to build. I want someone who would build me too. I don’t need someone I’m going to be pouring into, I want someone that will pour into me", she said.

Diiadem stressed that she would rather remain single than settle for the bare minimum: “So I would rather be single than settle for the bare minimum.”
