Baba Tee demanded that Lande provide proof of the alleged affair.He said: “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 and that her name is Dara 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.
