Season 3 of The Real Housewives of Lagos (RHOL) has been an eventful journey from the very start—a mix of luxury, drama, and intense moments that keep us talking long after each episode airs.

Since the season premiered on January 12, 2025, fresh faces like Dabota Lawson, an entrepreneur and philanthropist; Adeola “Diiadem” Adeyemi, a beauty and fashion entrepreneur; and Sophia Momodu, a well-known Nigerian entrepreneur and socialite, have joined returning favourites like Laura Ikeji-Kanu, beauty entrepreneur and influencer; Mariam Timmer Adeyemi, TV personality; and Carolyna Hutchings, actress and philanthropist, shaking up the glamorous world of Lagos.

Dabota Lawson made it clear right away that she wasn’t there to play nice in order to make friends. “You don’t have to like me,” she declared boldly.

You are not required to love me. But you have to show me respect,” laid the groundwork for a lot of the conflicts we have witnessed.

A straightforward remark made to Dabota at a tea party Mariam was hosting, “And you’re still single?” swiftly escalated into a furious dispute.

Despite Mariam’s later apology, the comment demonstrated how brittle relationships can be.

A trip to Ghana heightened the drama. When tensions between Carolyna and Dabota escalated into a violent brawl, what was supposed to be a luxurious vacation became a battlefield.

Although past wounds still exist, Carolyna made an effort to patch things up with Laura by publicly apologising in the midst of everything.

After that, Diiadem threw an Afrocentric party that initially appeared to be joyous but quickly exposed the women’s covert rivalries and power struggles.

Carolyna made an unsuccessful attempt to patch things up with Diiadem at her pyjama party later. Carolyna and Diiadem got into a heated and boisterous yelling match when Mariam called her out.
