And the war of words heated up during a joint interview on talkSPORT.
But the on-air back and forth was nothing compared to what happened after they stepped off set.
Tshikeva – known as TKV – said: “Shut your f***ing mouth. Who the f*** are you pulling up to like that?”
Adeleye, 28, held back, said: “Shut your mouth.”
TKV also said “Bro, shut the f*** up.”
It comes after Adeleye told TKV on radio: “I’m gonna break this guy’s skull, I’m telling you. I’m gonna really hurt him. Trust me.”
TKV, 31, later said: “You’re just trying to be a bully. Really and truly, you’re just pretending.”

Another added: “I could quite happily live in that in the middle of a field over where I live now.”
Tiny homes in the UK have boomed in popularity in recent years and typically range from 100 to 400 square feet in size.
Prices vary, but a basic tiny home can cost between £5,000 and £80,000, depending on size, materials, and whether it’s custom-built.
If a tiny home is on wheels, it may be classified as a caravan under UK law, meaning it might not require traditional planning permission.
Are tiny homes legal in the UK?
TINY houses can be in the UK regardless of whether they are on a trailer base or not. The legality of tiny houses is all to do with where it is and what you use it for.
According to Planning Geek, constructing a granny annexe in your garden usually means you’ll need planning permission, especially if it has a bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen.
This is because it’s seen as a separate living space rather than just an extension of your main home.
However, if you’re thinking about converting an existing outbuilding, like a garage, into a granny annexe or a tiny home, you might not need planning permission.
That said, it’s important to make sure the space doesn’t end up being a fully self-contained unit – for instance, if the converted area doesn’t include cooking facilities, it might not be classified as a separate dwelling.
It’s also worth noting that, while certain small outbuildings can be constructed under permitted development rights, the NAPC points out that this usually applies to structures like sheds or garages, rather than self-contained annexes.
According to The Tiny Housing, a tiny home on wheels must not exceed 2.55 meters in width to be road-legal in the UK. Also, with a standard car licence, the length cannot be more than seven meters.
While tiny homes offer an alternative living solution, they must comply with local planning and building regulations.
Always check with your local council to ensure compliance with all regulations.

THE HISTORY OF DUNNES STORES
DUNNES Stores opened its first store on Patrick Street in Cork in 1944 - and it was an instant hit.
Shoppers from all over the city rushed to the store to snap up quality clothing at pre-war prices in Ireland’s first ‘shopping frenzy’.
During the excitement, a window was forced in and the police had to be called to help control the crowds hoping to bag founder Ben Dunne’s ‘Better Value’ bargains.
Dunnes later opened more stores in the 1950s and began to sell groceries in 1960 – starting with apples and oranges.
The retailer said: “Fruit was expensive at the time and Ben Dunne yet again offered Better Value than anyone else in town.
“Over time, our food selection has grown and that spirit of good value has remained strong.
“Now we offer a wide range of carefully-sourced foods from both local Irish suppliers and overseas.”
The retailer’s first Dublin store opened its doors in 1957 on Henry Street and a super store on South Great Georges Street was unveiled in 1960.
They added: “In 1971, our first Northern Irish store opened, and many others soon followed.
“Expansion continued in the 1980s in Spain, and later into Scotland and England.”
Dunnes now has 142 stores and employs 15,000 people.

HORRIFYING pictures reveal the grim interior of a “House of Horrors” where a man was allegedly held captive by his cruel stepmom for 20 years.
Kimberly Sullivan, 56, is accused of holding her unnamed stepson captive inside a small room since he was 11 years old, depriving him of food and subjecting him to relentless abuse.

Sullivan allegedly left the victim “severely emaciated” — weighing just 68 pounds — and “akin to an Auschwitz survivor”, said Waterbury police who shared photos of the house on Monday.
Shocking pictures show a “house of horrors”, with a broken ceiling and floorboards, junk and rubbish piled high in almost every room, as well as carpeted areas covered in dirt and trash.
One photo of a bathroom shows broken wall insulation, glass and cardboard boxes on the floor.
Pictures also reveal walls charred black from the fire that the victim set, using printer paper and hand sanitizer, in a desperate attempt to escape on February 17.
The extent of the property’s dire conditions can be seen in more than 100 photos which Connecticut television station WFSB received from Waterbury police.
The now 32-year-old man told authorities that his captivity first began aged 11, when his stepmom locked him in a room with limited food and water and without heat or air conditioning.
Due to a lack of dental care, he said that his teeth would break off on the occasions that he did eat.
He told police that he had to dispose of his waste through various methods, including using a series of straws that led to a hole in a window.
Sometimes, he would be locked away for 24 hours straight, police said.
When the man attended school, he would reportedly ask his classmates for food, steal food and eat out of the garbage.

The fire, which the victim lit in his room, was successful in bringing his alleged captivity to the attention of authorities, as firefighters rushed to the scene.
Medical personnel treated the man for smoke inhalation and diagnosed him with post-traumatic stress disorder and depression.
They reported that the 5 foot 9 man weighed a mere 68 pounds — the average weight of a 9-year-old boy.
The fire did not reach the parts of the house which appear to be inhabited by Sullivan.
She has been released on bail after posting a $300,000 bond and maintains her innocence.
Her attorney Ioannis A. Kaloidis told Daily Mail that it was the boy’s biological father Kregg, who was responsible for the “decisions” about his life.
According to authorities, Kregg died last year and the victim’s biological mother has not been a part of his life.
In terms of his personal hygiene, Sullivan claimed that she encouraged him to wash but “couldn’t force” him to do so.
Kaloidis said earlier this week: “She completely maintains her innocence, from our perspective. These allegations are not true. They are outlandish.
“She was blown away when she heard these allegations.”

Growing up in Jamaica
Wellesley ran a small grocery shop in Sherwood Content in Trelawny, Jamaica.
He and his late wife Jennifer had two other children named Sadiki and Christine, as well as Usain.
They played an integral role in their son’s sporting success, as he went from running races at Williams Knibb High School to the world stage.
Wellesley could often be seen cheering on his son from the sidelines and one particularly notable appearance at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
Fans were thrilled to see Wellesley’s joy as his son won his first Olympic gold in the 100m race in a world-record time.
His unassuming nature earned him the nickname of the “quiet force” behind Usain Bolt.
Wellesley’s tragic passing
According to the Jamaican Observer, Wellesley passed away on March 31, 2025.
His cause of death is unknown but it is understood that he had been battling a long term illness.
Tributes to Usain’s dad have flooded in, with even the Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness joining in mourning Wellesley.
He wrote: “I join with every Jamaican in extending my deepest and most sincere condolences to Usain Bolt, his beloved mother Mrs. Jennifer Bolt, and the entire Bolt family, following the passing of their patriarch, Mr. Wellesley Bolt.”
Jamaica’s Minister of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sport, Olivia Grange, also paid tribute to Wellesley.

She said: “I offer my sincerest condolences to Jennifer, Usain, and the rest of the Bolt family. It is going to be a difficult time, but I encourage them to be comforted by the memory of a very good father.”
Usain’s incredible career
Usain is widely considered to be the greatest sprinter of all time.
He holds eight Olympic medals across the 100m, 200m and 4 x 100m races.
The runner is also an eleven-time World Champion and is the most successful male athlete in the world according to the World Championships.
