In a shocking revelation, popular Yoruba actor Babatunde Tayo, widely known as Baba Tee, has confessed to having a brief sexual encounter with Dara, the estranged wife of comedian and skit maker Ganiyu Morufu, aka Lande. This admission comes after months of denial and public drama surrounding the alleged affair.
Baba Tee made the confession during a live interview with socialite Esabod and other TikTokers on Sunday. He revealed that the incident occurred during a “Truth or Dare” game with Dara and actress Marygold, who is Lande’s former manager. According to Baba Tee, Marygold dared Dara to engage in a “quick” sexual act with him, and Dara agreed.
The actor claimed he was unaware of Dara’s marital status at the time and now believes the situation was a setup to tarnish his reputation. “I will not deny that I had a short sexual intercourse with her. It is the first time I am saying it. It is now that I discovered that it was a set-up by both of them to malign my personality,” he said.
This confession marks a dramatic U-turn for Baba Tee, who had previously denied Lande’s allegations and even challenged him to provide evidence. Lande had earlier accused his wife of infidelity, claiming that at least 21 men in the entertainment industry were involved with her, including Baba Tee.
Following the interview, Esabod advised Baba Tee to apologize to Lande. The actor took to his official Facebook page on Monday to express remorse, writing, “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.”
The scandal has sparked widespread reactions on social media, with many netizens expressing shock and disappointment. Some have criticized Baba Tee for his actions, while others have questioned the role of Marygold, who is believed to have recorded the encounter.
As the drama unfolds, the entertainment industry is left buzzing with debates about morality, trust, and the complexities of relationships in the public eye.
