Princess Comedian accuses Biola Adebayo of hypocrisy over Baba Ijesha interview
Actress and comedienne Damilola "Princess Comedian" Adekoya criticized colleague Biola Adebayo for interviewing convicted actor Olanrewaju "Baba Ijesha" Omiyinka on her "Talk To B" podcast. Premium Times reported the interview where Baba Ijesha maintained his innocence regarding his 2022 conviction for sexual assault. The interview sparked outrage, with many condemning Adebayo for giving a platform to a convicted offender. Adebayo removed the interview from YouTube and apologized via Instagram, stating she acted as an interviewer and expected an apology that never came. Princess Comedian, whose foster daughter was the victim, accused Adebayo of hypocrisy in a separate Instagram video. She questioned how Adebayo, a self-identified survivor of sexual assault, could interview a convicted offender without addressing the victim's pain. Princess Comedian alleged Adebayo sought attention and profit from the controversy, noting she never reached out to the victim's family after the incident six years prior. She also claimed Adebayo's actions enabled perpetrators like Baba Ijesha by excusing their behavior due to their status.
