The popular Yoruba Nollywood actor Babatunde Tayo, often referred to as Baba Tee, has made a u-turn and acknowledged that he had a brief sexual relationship with Dara, the wife of comedian and sketch creator Ganiyu Kehinde, well known as Ijoba Lande.
In a live conversation with socialite Esabod and other TikTokers on Sunday, Baba Tee revealed the information.
The actor’s admission refuted his earlier denial over the same matter, in which he threatened to sue Lande for defaming him unless he produced proof that he actually had sex with his wife.
Remember how Lande said in a recent interview that his wife left him after he demonetised YouTube and Facebook? Additionally, he accused her of being disloyal and connected her to at least 21 guys in the entertainment business.
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.”
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.”
