In her comment section, many of her colleagues rallied behind her.

Kemi Filani reported earlier this week that Baba Ijesha, in an interview with Biola, had addressed his rape allegations, maintaining that he isn’t a pedophile nor a rapist. He said Princess knows she has betrayed everyone she has ever been friends with, and expressed how hurt he was by how Iyabo Ojo turned on him. He noted that he had taken care of her kids when they were younger, yet she doubted him.

The interview didn’t sit well with many, who dragged him and Biola Bayo through the mud.

Following the backlash, Biola took down the video from her YouTube page and has hidden it on her Instagram reel.

Admitting her wrongs, Biola shared a video of herself explaining the situation as she tendered an apology to Iyabo Ojo and Nigerians. Biola made it clear that she doesn’t and will never support a rapist.

Defending her, Bisola Badmus said Biola’s strength and kindness are what make her unique and stand out. She admonished the actress to be calm, as everything is under control.

Lizzy Anjorin noted that Biola also subjected her children and family to public ridicule and mockery during her interview with Iyabo. She urged the actress to delete the video before 11am or face her wrath. Lizzy threatened to expose all of Biola’s shady deeds.

Refreshing your memory, in 2021, Princess, accused Ijesha of defiling her 14-year-old ward. In a video that was made available online, the actress accused Baba Ijesha of molesting her daughter without consent.
