‘I kept treating infections’ — Tunmise opens up on messy breakup with Ivana
TikTok influencer Tunmise has accused his former girlfriend, Ivana, of travelling to Calabar to reunite with her ex-boyfriend after he allegedly spent thousands of naira trying to save their relationship.
Tunmise disclosed this while sharing his own account of what he claimed led to the collapse of their relationship.
In the video, Tunmise responded after Ivana accused him of infidelity, verbal abuse and domestic violence, allegations he denied while insisting that he made several sacrifices to keep the relationship together.
“Ivana went to see her ex in Calabar, the same ex she painted the worst to me. I was trying to do better than her ex. Someone I was trying to do better than, that was the person you went back to,” he said.
According to him, despite the couple’s frequent online displays of affection, they had been dealing with serious issues behind the scenes.
He claimed he was financially supporting Ivana as well as several members of her family throughout their relationship.
Tunmise alleged that after the pair attempted to resolve their differences, Ivana suggested they spend time together at a hotel to work on their relationship.
He claimed he paid N150,000 per day for a hotel where they stayed for about three weeks.
He added that he regularly took her shopping and covered other expenses because he wanted to make her happy.
Explaining what he described as the turning point in the relationship, Tunmise alleged that Ivana later informed him she had been invited to an event in Calabar and that her flight had already been booked.
He claimed he personally dropped her at the airport before later discovering she allegedly travelled to meet her former boyfriend.
Tunmise further alleged that he became aware of the meeting after receiving messages, photographs and videos from a woman he identified as the former boyfriend’s current girlfriend.
Despite the development, he said he chose to forgive Ivana because her birthday was only weeks away.
“I forgive Ivana and left the whole thing,” he added.
Addressing claims that he insulted Ivana during their relationship, Tunmise admitted calling her offensive names but claimed it happened during repeated arguments over what he described as recurring infections both of them were treating.
He alleged that the situation became emotionally exhausting and eventually triggered heated exchanges between them.
“We treat infection, treat infection, infection no gree go. Out of pain I called her a prostitute,” he said.
Tunmise also disputed Ivana’s earlier claims that she was subjected to physical abuse during the relationship, alleging that she also assaulted him on several occasions.
To support his claims, he displayed screenshots which he said showed Ivana apologising, admitting she had a bad temper and asking him to reconcile with her.
The latest video comes after Ivana publicly admitted cheating during the relationship but alleged that she did so after enduring repeated infidelity and verbal abuse from Tunmise.
She also accused him of damaging her career opportunities and physically abusing her.
