For
one reason or other, our celebrities seem to think they can take us for
a ride whenever, however and wherever they want. And that includes
telling us all sorts of lies, either to promote their image or just to
stick it on our faces that we are plain stupid.
But what they seem to forget is that their innocent public, as stupid
as it may appear, doesn’t forget easily. All their deeds, utterances and
even silence,most often do not go unrecorded. For reading pleasure,
here are some celebrities’ ‘lies’ that became ‘truths’, whether
inadvertently or deliberately.
Tiwa Savage and Tee Billz
So many times, Tiwa Savage and her manager, Tee Billz were found
kissing and caressing each other. Even the social media was rife with
pictures suggesting some romantic dalliances between the duo. Yet the
‘Kele Kele’ crooner vehemently denied any relationship between the two
of them insisting they had nothing beyond work relationship.
Having grudgingly swallowed this lie and denial, Nigerians were
dumbfounded when videos of their engagement began trending online.
Today, most people are upset because they were lied to as the love birds
recently got married.
Funke Akindele
So many white lies have escaped the lips of our dear Funke Akindele
a.k.a Jenifa, especially about her wedding to her ex-husband, Kehinde
Adeola Oloyede popularly known as Kehinde Almaroof. She lied in print
about the venue of the much talked about wedding.
While the ceremony was scheduled to hold at The Haven Events Centre,
Oba Akinjobi Road, GRA, Ikeja, she circulated an invitation card which
read, All Seasons Plaza, Lateef Jakande Road, Agidingbi, Ikeja, Lagos as
the venue.
Apart from the media, she also misled other invitees, especially those
from distant places clad in Aso Ebi, who expressed their regrets and
disappointment on finding out the truth. When confronted, Akindele, who
spoke through her media aide, blatantly denied knowledge of the card
with the fake address.
DBanj
In 2012, when the Koko master premiered his first reality show, Koko
Mansion, he made series of promises which till today has remained
unfulfilled.
His promise to feature the adjudged winner, which turned out to be
Bolanle Okhiria, in the official video of “Fall in Love” is one of those
unfulfilled promises. The Koko master was either lying to all or
deliberately reneging on his promise as he ended up featuring Nollywood
beauty, Genevieve Nnaji, in the video.
Yvonne Nelson
Her recent outburst following her failed romance with Kukere crooner, Iyanya came as a rude shock to many people.
When the going was good, the star actress not only savoured good
moments of the romance with the “Your Waist” master; she also denied
having an affair with him.
But when the relationship crashed and became an open secret, all she
could do was to bow in shame. Suddenly, the lie about not dating the
artiste turned out to be the truth.
Tuface Idibia
It may have been that Tuface Idibia had one woman in mind when he wrote
and sang ‘African Queen’, but for long, he has been entangled in a love
triangle involving not less than three African beauties who have given
him children.
He did find this situation funny, hence in an earlier interview, the
international star stated thus: “the truth is that marriage is not in my
plans. I will never marry. Let me put it bluntly. I don’t want to
marry. I am angry.”
Today, Tuface is not only married but had a large society wedding
outside the country precisely in Dubai. So, the truth is, either Tu Baba
lied about his decision never to marry or he simply had a rethink.
Doris Simon
In March 2012, reports of marital turbulence centred on the family of
crossover actress, Doris Simeon when her celebrated filmmaker husband,
Daniel Ademinokan allegedly trod the path of infidelity with another top
actress, thereby putting the couple’s three-year marriage under
tension.
The story made the cover of various newspapers and magazines and equally trended heavily online.
In reaction to the story, the award winning English and Yoruba actress
debunked the rumoured crack in her marriage, insisting it was a figment
of the peddlers’ imagination, a distraction and a product of idle minds.
Today, Simeon has buried her head in shame, not only because the
marriage irretrievably nosedived, but for initially lying and deceiving
both the media and her numerous fans about the true state of her
marriage.
