Baba Ijesha: Comedian Princess Blasts Biola Adebayo Over Apology Video
- Comedian Princess publicly criticised actress Biola Adebayo for interviewing convicted actor Baba Ijesha on her podcast shortly after his release from prison
- Princess accused Biola of never once asking about the welfare of the teenage victim, despite chatting and speaking on the phone several times over five years
- In an emotional video, Princess called Biola's decision deeply insensitive, especially as she visited Baba Ijesha in prison but ignored the child's well-being
Nigerian comedian and actress Damilola Adekoya, popularly known as Princess, has strongly criticised actress Biola Adebayo for her recent apology video following a podcast interview with convicted actor and comedian Olanrewaju Omiyinka James, better known as Baba Ijesha.
Princess said Biola’s actions showed more concern for the offender than for the victim, a teenage girl who was assaulted years ago.

Princess, who is the foster mother of the victim, explained that despite several chats and phone calls over the past five years, Biola Adebayo never once asked about the child’s welfare.
“Biola, you are wicked. This happened in 2021, now we’re in 2026. After you and I have chatted, we’ve also spoken on the phone. There has never been one time, Biola, that you said, ha, sorry about what happened. How is my baby? How is she doing? There has never been one time.”
Instead, Biola visited Baba Ijesha in prison and later gave him a platform on her Talk to B podcast on YouTube shortly after his release.
Princess questioned why Biola waited until the man had completed his sentence before offering him a platform, while the victim’s situation remained ignored.
Princess further stressed that Biola edited and uploaded the interview even though Baba Ijesha never apologised.
“You said you interviewed him. You thought he wanted to apologise. Fine. But you interviewed him, you were there, you were talking and asking questions. In your interview, you didn’t say, oh, I thought you wanted to apologise. Are you ready to apologise? No. But the interview finished. Because I’m sure he’s not the one that gave you the questions to ask. So, you are saying you couldn’t have forced him to apologise. But you didn’t ask him.”

"People need to understand it's a podcast. She is just an interviewer. That platform is for both the good and bad people to say their story. The interviewer can't force the people who come on the platform to say anything. Please let's allow Biola be she has tried."
@oluwatitofolabi said:
"I don't get this uproar about interviewing an ex-convict. The person go talk him own and you go to another interview and talk your own. Abi is it because the man is an ex-convict, the society should k!ll him?"
