- Baba Tee has made a u-turn hours after challenging Ijoba Lande to release evidence of his alleged sexual affair with his wife, Dara.
- Recall Ijoba Lande had accused his wife of having an affair with multiple men, actors included.
- While Dara has denied the accusations, Baba Tee has confessed to having a quickie, stating that he didn’t know she was Lande’s wife.
Popular Yoruba Nollywood actor, Babatunde Tayo, popularly known as Baba Tee has made a u-turn, admitting that he had a quickie with Dara, comedian and skit maker, Ganiyu Kehinde, aka Ijoba Lande’s wife.
Baba Tee made the revelation in a live interview with socialite, Esabod and other TikTokers on Sunday.
The actor’s disclosure countered his earlier denial about the same issue where he challenged Lande to bring evidence that he truly slept with his wife or face the law because the comedian had defamed him.
Recall during a recent interview, Lande claimed that his wife left him after he was demonetized on Facebook and YouTube. He also alleged that she was unfaithful, linking her to at least 21 men in the entertainment industry.
Among those he called out was Baba Tee, whom he mentioned in an Instagram post.
Countering the allegation, Baba Tee denied the affair with Lande’s wife, stating that he only met Dara once and it was last year through Marygold.
The 45-year-old actor explained that Marygold introduced Dara as a content creator and upcoming artiste, and he only discovered her true identity after overhearing a conversation between her and Marygold.
However, in a new twist, Baba Tee admitted sleeping with Lande’s wife while claiming that it was a short sexual relationship that was never meant to happen but did because he was playing ‘Truth or Dare’ game with Dara and Marygold. Dara in same interview denied it. In Baba Tee’s words:
“When Marygold and Dara came to my house, she introduced her as a content creator and not as Lande’s wife. They began to ask if I had a Qatar connection before the ‘Truth or Dare’ game suggestion came up.
“So immediately we began the game, Marygold went completely naked and was daring me consistently to Dara while she kept taking alcohol as a choice of not wanting to do the tasks that I demanded from her. Rather than throwing more ‘Truth’ to me, they were hurling ‘Dare’ at me.
Marygold initiated the TRUTH OR DARE game and she gave me a BJ which was part of the game. She now dared Dara to let me have a ‘quick’ sexual intercourse with her and she (Dara) obliged. I gave Darasinmi doggy style but I put on a condom. Everything happened in my kitchen and Marygold was there but we told her to face the wall before we started.
So, the reason I said I never slept with Lande’s wife was because Marygold never introduced her as that to me, she called her a content creator.
It was about two hours after the game that I discovered she was Lande’s wife. I don’t know who recorded us and sent it to Lande because it was only the three of us that were in the house that day and my driver already went home.
I will not deny that I had a short sexual intercourse with her, it is the first time I am saying it.
I am publicly apologizing to Lande today. My brother, I am sorry I didn’t know she was your wife before I had sex with her. I am also begging Nigerians to please forgive me.”
After the truth had unravelled, Esabod advised Baba Tee to formally apologise to Lande because it was more like a betrayal as the actor had earlier denied that he slept with his wife and threatened the comedian with a lawsuit.
Reacting shortly after the interview, Baba Tee in a message on his official Instagram page on Monday morning March 10, apologised to Lande. He wrote:
“Am deeply sorry from the bottom of my heart, brother. Deep… how Dara became Lande’s wife without my knowledge…Hmmm. Aye mojuba Obinrin… Baba Tee.”
“AM DEEPLY SORRY LANDE.”
Marigold is the embattled manager of Ijoba Lande and was alleged to have recorded what happened between Baba Tee and Dara.
