Popular socialite and influencer, Mary Gold, has provided further insight into the ongoing controversy surrounding Nollywood actor Baba Tee and content creator Ijoba Lande’s estranged wife, Dara.
The situation has garnered widespread attention, following Ijoba Lande’s public accusations against his wife and some senior colleagues in the entertainment industry. He specifically alleged that Baba Tee was romantically involved with Dara, a claim that has since sparked intense debate among fans and industry insiders.
Addressing the controversy in a live TikTok session, Mary Gold admitted that she played a role in introducing Dara to Baba Tee. However, she emphasized that she had no knowledge that Dara was married at the time of the introduction.
She recounted the events leading up to the controversy, stating that during a visit to Baba Tee’s house, Dara initiated a Truth or Dare game and encouraged the actor to make it romantic. According to Mary Gold, Dara directly dared Baba Tee to take things further, making it clear that she was the one pushing for a more intimate interaction.
“In fairness to him, I didn’t tell him I was coming with a friend. When we got there, both of them started playing Truth or Dare, and it was Dara who told Baba Tee, ‘I dare you to have sex with me.’ She kept urging him to make the game romantic,” Mary Gold revealed.
She further clarified that Baba Tee had no knowledge of Dara’s marital status at the time because she had specifically instructed Mary Gold not to introduce her as Ijoba Lande’s wife when they were in public settings.
“I won’t lie, it was Dara who seduced him. I was in the kitchen listening to music when I fell asleep, leaving the two of them alone in the living room. I accept that I made a mistake by taking her to Baba Tee’s house without informing Lande, but I never expected or planned for them to have sex. Right now, Baba Tee has blocked me. People should stop blaming me,” she added.
The controversy has continued to fuel public discussions, with many social media users now questioning Dara’s role in the unfolding drama. While some sympathize with Ijoba Lande over the collapse of his marriage, others believe that more details need to be uncovered before drawing conclusions.
The debate has also led to mixed reactions from fans, with some defending Baba Tee, insisting that he was unaware of the situation, while others believe that he should have exercised more caution before getting involved.
As the story continues to develop, many are waiting for official statements from Baba Tee, Dara, and Ijoba Lande to clarify the extent of their involvement and what truly transpired between them.
