Yoruba comic actor Baba Tee, has addressed claims of infidelity made against him by Ijoba Lande, another comedian.
Lande’s admission that his wife had left him when he learnt of her suspected infidelity sparked the uproar.
According to the star, she had dated at least 21 men in the entertainment business. On Instagram, Lande also criticised Baba Tee, saying he was one of the men that were participating.
In a recent YouTube video, Baba Tee denied the allegations, arguing that he had never met Lande’s wife until mid-last year, when she was introduced to him by actress Marygold as a “content creator and upcoming artiste”.
The actor claimed that he only discovered the woman’s true identity as Lande’s wife after overhearing a conversation between her and Marygold.
Baba Tee expressed shock at Lande’s public call-out, stating that he had only met Lande once. He challenged Lande to provide evidence to support his allegations.
“I have never met Lande’s wife all my life, never spoken to her, I did not even know what she looks like until mid last year when Marygold called me as regards an MC job, because I am a standup comedian as well,” he said.
“She called that she was in my estate and she wanted to see me regarding the launch of her movie. Marygold actually came, but she barged in with a total stranger and I had question why she would bring someone I did not know to my house.
“Marygold said that girl is a content creator and upcoming artiste, that was how she introduced the girl to me. I overheard them talking in my apartment, Marygold was saying it seems Baba Tee is already aware.
“I had to barge in and ask what does Baba Tee know? It took a while before she confessed to me that the lady was Lande’s wife. And I was like why did you not introduce her as Lande’s wife, why introduce her as Dara, the content creator?
“The next thing I heard was Lande calling me out on Instagram, raining insults on me and saying he used to prostrate for me. I was shocked because I have only seen Lande once in my life.
“Lande, I am putting this to you, present the evidence for the allegations levied against me. Present the evidence to the world where I am sleeping with your wife and having an affair with her.”
