During the interview, Dupe Jayesimi claimed that despite being childless, the children she trained and raised never showed up for her when she came of age. This statement triggered her siblings and one of them, Tope, came online to address it.
In a video making the rounds, Tope Jayesimi asked the actress how she raised them when they were all young and living together in their grandma’s house in Ibadan.
According to the actress’ sister, Dupe Jayesimi never saw her and the rest of her siblings as her relatives, talkless of her children which she raised because she never thought they would become great people in life.
“How did you raise us? We baba’s children that also makes you bear the Jayesimi name. How did you take care of us then? You know that till now that you’re speaking on this program, you never saw us as your relatives, never saw us as your siblings or as your children. If you saw us as your children and counted us as your siblings, this is me Tope talking on behalf of everybody, that you saw me Tope, Adeoluwa, Biodun, Esther, that you saw us as your siblings or your children, you won’t come to social media to say all these things you said. But one thing I always say is there are always repercussions for actions. That they brought us to you to care for us and you thought you could maltreat us because you thought we would never amount to anything. Can you see the result? You thought we would be nobodies.”
Speaking further, Dupe Jayesimi’s sister, Tope, described their relationship with the actress, claiming that it was as if they were her maids and that she used to wash the film star’s period-stained underwear.

Tope also claimed that Dupe Jayesimi sold their late father’s hectares of land which was meant to sponsor their education and kept the proceeds to herself among other things. In her words:
“Can you remember that time at home, I would be the one to wash your menses pants, when you want to eat, we behave like your househelps in the house where we all lived together, that almost every month when you go for shows, whenever you come back, fear would grip us. You have forgotten how you raised us. When our father died, what did you do to us? How did you raise us? We are now people today. Please help us ask her, our father’s land that was meant to be used to train us to school, please what happened to the land after relatives took her to the police that time? She sold the hectares of land, this same Aunty Dupe sold everything. All our late father’s entitlements as a professor in Ajayi Crowther University, she was the one who collected everything. You have brought this matter to the public, a lot is on ground.”
