Why did Israel Adesanya and Charlotte Powdrell break up?

After getting together in 2019, things sadly fell apart for the couple, and it didn’t last too long. Till the advent of mid-2020, there were rumors that the couple had parted ways after almost a year of relationship.

Back then, both Adesanya and Powdrell chose to keep the reason for their breakup private. Neither of them gave out any information publically, announcing their separation. But things started becoming clearer when the current UFC middleweight champ started going ballistic on Charlotte Powdrell with a series of Instagram shots.

He leaked one of their chats on his Instagram story. it showcased ‘Izzy’ mentioning, “Let [unknown] pay for it all, you have a sugar daddy now who will pay for everything”. Several fans might now have an idea about what possibly caused their breakup after things got pretty nasty from a legal standpoint for Israel Adesanya.

Following Israel Adesanya’s breakup, a report by the Daily Mail in 2023 revealed that ‘Izzy’ had actually been subjected to a lawsuit by his ex-girlfriend Powdrell. Some reports also said that Powdrell claimed half of Adesanya’s total assets since she believed she also stood to gain from supporting Adesanya through a full year of his UFC career.

While the details regarding the lawsuit weren’t clear, fans got to learn about it when the former UFC champion went guns blazing on her on social media. Apart from leaking the previously mentioned chat, Adesanya also took a number of vicious public jibes at Powdrell through a series of bashing Instagram stories over time.

This is what they read: “You don’t care about my life cause you’ve sold info about me, so I don’t care about yours,”, “I don’t even hate. I just don’t care about you. I’ve not been in love with you for a while. In summary, I’m glad this happened. I wouldn’t change a f**king thing,”, and, “Me loading up receipts…. Y’all shoulda left me the f**k alone! I got time, and I got lawyer money.”

‘The Last Stylebender’ also expressed his support for the noted Moroccan soccer star, Achraf Hakimi, following the scandal related to his divorce. Addressing women like Hakimi’s wife Hiba Abouk and Powdrell, ‘Izzy’ also put out a few scathing words on another Instagram story. In addition to the aforementioned statements from Israel Adesanya, the former 2-time champ issued another response to Charlotte Powdrell’s lawsuit, and it was a pretty bold one.

Some UFC fans might accept that ‘The Last Stylebender’ is an incredibly witty personality and guess what? He showcased that pretty well at a UFC PPV. Adesanya’s Instagram jibes at Powdrell probably indicated that he was going to go no-holds-barred in shaming his ex-girlfriend publicly, but he took things to the next level when he appeared at the UFC 290 in a T-shirt that clarified the message he had for people like Powdrell. The words on his black round-neck tee read, “He is not your bank”.

Most fans might have noticed it while ‘Izzy’ got into the altercation with the current UFC middleweight, Dricus Du Plessis. The Nigerian-born Kiwi made his statement clear with his t-shirt.
