Popular Yoruba Nollywood actor, Babatunde Tayo, widely known as Baba Tee, has admitted to having a brief sexual encounter with Dara, the wife of comedian and skit maker Ganiyu Morufu, aka Ijoba Lande.
Baba Tee made this revelation during a live interview with socialite Esabod and other TikTok personalities on Sunday, reversing his earlier denial of the affair. Previously, he had challenged Ijoba Lande to provide evidence or face legal action for defamation.
Ijoba Lande had earlier claimed in an interview that his wife’s infidelity led to their separation, alleging that at least 21 men in the entertainment industry were involved with her. Among those he named was Baba Tee, whom he accused via an Instagram post and a viral interview.
Initially, Baba Tee denied any relationship with Dara, stating that he only met her once through actress Marygold, who introduced her as a content creator. However, in a surprising turn of events, he later admitted that a “Truth or Dare” game involving alcohol led to a brief sexual encounter between them.
Describing the incident, Baba Tee claimed that Marygold and Dara visited his house under the pretense of discussing an event. During the visit, a game of “Truth or Dare” escalated, and he engaged in an intimate act with Dara while under the influence of alcohol. He maintained that he was unaware of Dara’s marital status at the time, believing her to be just a content creator.
Following this revelation, Esabod advised Baba Tee to apologise to Ijoba Lande, as his earlier denial and legal threats amounted to betrayal. In response, Baba Tee took to his official Facebook page on Monday to offer a public apology.
He wrote:
"I am deeply sorry from the bottom of my heart, brother Lande. Deep how Dara became Lande’s wife without my knowledge… Hmmm. I fear women."
Reports also suggest that Marygold, who manages Ijoba Lande, allegedly recorded the encounter between Baba Tee and Dara, raising further controversy around the incident.
