Ijoba in trouble as Baba Tee demands evidence he tasted his wife
Nollywood actor Baba Tee has challenged content creator Ijoba Lande to provide evidence of him sleeping with his wife.
Baba Tee made this statement after Lande accused him and 20 other entertainers of having affairs with his wife before their separation in January 2025.
Ijoba Lande, in a controversial video on his Instagram page, claimed that his wife, Dara, left him after he discovered her alleged infidelity.
Lande also called out his manager, Mary Gold, who doubled as his wife’s best friend, for introducing her to actor Baba Tee despite knowing she was married to him.
Reacting to the accusation, Mary Gold claimed that the actor slept with Lande’s wife after she dared to call him impotent.
Responding to Lande’s allegation, Baba Tee, in a video interview on his Instagram page, challenged him to provide evidence to support his claim.
“I have never met or spoken to Lande’s wife in my life. I didn’t even know what she looked like until mid-2024 when Mary Gold called me regarding an MC job because I’m also a stand-up comedian.
“Mary Gold said she was in my estate and wanted to see me about the launch of her movie. But she barged in with a total stranger, and I questioned why she brought someone I didn’t know to my house. She then told me that the girl was a content creator and an up-and-coming artiste—that was how she introduced her to me.
“I overheard them talking in my apartment, and Mary Gold 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 that the lady was Lande’s wife. And I asked, ‘Why didn’t you introduce her as Lande’s wife?’
“The next thing I heard was Lande calling me out on Instagram, hurling insults at me. I was shocked because I have only seen Lande once in my life.
“Lande, I am putting this to you—present evidence for the allegations you have made against me. Show proof to the world that I slept with your wife.”

American music star Chris Brown has reportedly been arrested in Manchester, United Kingdom, in connection with a assault that allegedly took place at a nightclub in London in 2023.
According to multiple sources, the 36-year-old rapper and singer was taken into custody during the early hours of Thursday, May 15, 2025, at The Lowry Hotel in Manchester. He was reportedly detained around 2:00 a.m. on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm.
The arrest is tied to an incident that occurred on February 19, 2023, at the upscale Tape nightclub located in the Mayfair district of London. During that event, Brown allegedly attacked music producer Abe Diaw, striking him over the head with a bottle before proceeding to punch and kick him multiple times.
The severity of the assault reportedly led to Diaw being hospitalized, and he has since filed a $16 million lawsuit against the Grammy-winning artist, citing physical damages and defamation.
Chris Brown’s Team Yet to Respond
As of the time of this report, Chris Brown’s management and legal representatives have not issued any official statement regarding the arrest or the incident.
The silence from his camp has left fans and the media speculating about the potential legal and professional implications, especially given the timing of the arrest.
The arrest comes just weeks before the launch of Chris Brown’s anticipated world tour, titled “Breezy Bowl XX Stadium World Tour,” which is scheduled to kick off on June 8, 2025, in Amsterdam.
The development raises concerns about whether the artist will be able to honor his international tour dates or face travel restrictions stemming from the legal case.
Background on the Lawsuit
In the wake of the 2023 incident, Abe Diaw filed a multi-million-dollar lawsuit against Brown. In addition to the alleged physical assault, Diaw accuses the singer of attempting to damage his professional reputation, claiming that defamatory statements were made in the aftermath of the altercation.
Legal analysts say that if Brown is formally charged and convicted, he could face serious penalties, including fines, imprisonment, and potential restrictions on international travel.
Public Reactions Mixed
News of the arrest has sparked a flurry of reactions online. While some fans have expressed disappointment, others are calling for due process and urging the public not to rush to judgment.
As developments unfold, all eyes remain on whether Chris Brown’s legal team will break their silence and how the allegations will impact his already controversial public image and upcoming performances.
