Popular Nigerian comedian, Babatunde Bernard Tayo, well known as Baba Tee, has confessed to having a brief sexual encounter with Dara, the wife of comedian and skit maker Ganiyu Morufu, alias Lande.

The admission came during a live interview, where Baba Tee appeared alongside socialite Esabod and a group of TikTok influencers.

This revelation marks a reversal from Baba Tee’s earlier stance, in which he denied the accusation and threatened legal action against Lande for defamation.

Baba Tee had also earlier challenged Lande to provide proof of the affair or face the consequences in court.

The controversy surrounding the affair gained widespread attention following a recent interview in which Lande claimed his wife left him after he uncovered her alleged infidelity.

In that interview, Lande also alleged that Dara had been involved with at least 21 men in the entertainment industry, further escalating tensions between the couple and those involved.

Baba Tee was among those specifically named by Lande in an Instagram post and a viral interview, where the comedian accused him of being involved with his wife.

In response to the allegations, Baba Tee quickly denied any affair, clarifying that he had only met Lande’s wife once, and that encounter took place last year through actress Marygold.

The actor further explained that Marygold had introduced her as a content creator and aspiring artist, with Baba Tee only learning about her true identity after overhearing a conversation between the two women.

However a surprising u-turn, Baba Tee admitted to having slept with Lande’s wife.

He described the encounter as a short sexual affair that was never intended to happen.

According to Baba Tee, the incident occurred while he was intoxicated during a game of ‘Truth or Dare’ with Dara and Marygold.

He said, “When Marygold and Dara came to my house. She (Marygold) claimed that she wanted me to be an MC for an upcoming programme of hers despite not telling me that she was coming with anyone. She introduced Dara 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 now dared Dara to let me have a ‘quick’ sexual intercourse with her and she (Dara) obliged. 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. 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.”
