Darasimi, the estranged wife of comedian and skit maker, Ganiyu Morufu, aka Ijoba Lande, has broken her silence on the infidelity claims levied against her.
She said she only sat on popular Yoruba Nollywood actor, Babatunde Tayo’s leg during a “Truth and Dare” game initiated by her friend, Marygold.
Darasimi made the clarification during an interview with socialite, Esabod and other TikTokers on Sunday.
Recall that 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.
However, Dara denied cheating on her husband, adding that infidelity was not the reason their marriage ended.
Detailing how the incident unfolded, she said, “The first time I met Baba Tee was in July last year when Marygold told me we should go to his house because she wanted to invite him to the launching of her movie.
“When we got there, Baba Tee didn’t know I was Lande’s wife, we greeted and Marygold said she wanted to drink alcohol.
“There was no alcohol in the house, so Marygold and Baba Tee’s driver went to buy it while I sat down in the living room. Baba Tee and I didn’t talk till they returned.
“When Marygold entered the house, she said we should start a ‘Truth or Dare’ game. I didn’t want to, but she encouraged me, so I told Baba Tee that I was Lande’s wife, and we started the game.
“As the game was going on, Marygold stripped herself naked and gave Baba Tee a BJ. By then, I had already drunk 10 shots of alcohol while Marygold and Baba Tee were smoking ‘Igbo’ (marijuana).
“Marygold then dared Baba Tee to give me a doggy style, so Baba Tee went to get a condom.
“When he returned, I told him I would not allow doggy, but I would sit on him. We then told Marygold to turn to the wall so she wouldn’t watch us. I only sat on his lap; we didn’t do anything.”
She stressed that Lande knew she didn’t sleep around while challenging the skit maker to present evidence that she cheated on him when they were married.
Darasinmi added, “I will not say why we broke up for now due to some personal reasons, but it wasn’t about infidelity.”
Earlier, Baba Tee Baba Tee admitted sleeping with Lande’s wife while claiming that it was a short sexual relationship that was never meant to happen but did because he was drunk while playing the ‘Truth or Dare’ game with Dara and Marygold.
The 45-year-old actor also, in a short message on his official Facebook page on Monday, apologised to Lande.
He wrote, “I am deeply sorry from the bottom of my heart, brother, Lande. Deep how Dara became Lande’s wife without my knowledge…Hmmm. I fear women.”
