Lande’s move earned him a lot of backlash with netizens, including singer Portable, taunting him for showing respect to a man who slept with his wife.
This led to Lande making a video to clear the air on the matter. In the clip which was shared on his Instagram page, Ijoba Lande recounted how he got to meet Baba Tee for the first time after he slept with his wife.
According to him, it was one of the people he respects in the industry, Yemi Elesho, who invited him for a shoot because he wanted him on his show. Lande said that upon getting there, Baba Tee also arrived and immediately started begging him.
This made him realise that Yemi Elesho brought them together for peace and he made it clear that he bore no animosity towards Baba Tee but would prefer not to work with him for now. Lande added that there was no reconciliation between them, he also expressed surprise that they were being recorded.
He said:
“About five to six people called me on set for work with Baba Tee involved and I turned down the job, saying I can’t do it yet. But unfortunately, Yemi Elesho called me for a job, saying ‘Lande, I want you in my show called Celebrity Show’. Yemi Elesho has been there for me for so long when I needed it. Unfortunately when I got there and was about to go in, that was when Baba Tee arrived and right from the car, he started apologising saying ‘Lande, I’m very sorry, I know I messed up’. That was when I realised that it seemed Yemi Elesho wanted me and Baba Tee to meet and get back together and immediately, I told Yemi Elesho that I had forgiven and forgotten the matter and It was no longer plaguing my heart but we can’t work together right now.
And when Baba Tee kept apologising, I told him he had apologised in public, we offend God and he forgives us, so what else can I do? Will I cut off your head? I told him to leave the matter and stop begging me. Something that will make a man publicly accept his mistakes and apologise, then that’s the end of the matter. I didn’t even know people were making videos, it was when I came online I started seeing clips and I was surprised.
So it’s not like we planned it, I didn’t even know Baba Tee was coming to the shoot, so you people calling me ‘Lande Ode’ and taunting me for prostrating to Baba Tee after he slept with my wife, It’s left to you, you can do your own thing as you like so that’s how I decided to do my own thing but it’s not as if we reconciled, I’ve explained it as it is.”
