The real estate CEO proposed to a young Muslim woman. Out of nowhere, his first wife's family member apparently used a burner account to expose Sir J as Oyewale is fondly called.

She said Sir J is a hypocrite and should stop pretending like he had not picked a wedding date already with the new wife, and should stop acting like a good man after allegedly beating his first wife, who, according to The Punch, he is planning to divorce.
