Biola Adebayo has addressed the ongoing backlash surrounding her recent podcast episode featuring Baba Ijesha by shifting focus to appreciation.
On Monday, March 23, 2026, the actress took to social media to celebrate a key member of her podcast team, Sing Shola, who plays a major role in the success of her show Talk To B.
Sharing a behind-the-scenes video with her crew, Biola expressed gratitude to her director, praising him for his unwavering support through both challenging and successful moments. She noted that their journey together has been filled with shared experiences, including lessons learned along the way.
“I promised our director this is the video I’ll use to celebrate his birthday Happy birthday to our amiable director of Talktob. @singsholaa Thank you for standing by me through the thick and thin, through the highs and lows… we’ve laughed together, cried together, we made mistakes together and learned from it all. Thank you for all you do brother. I pray this is your best year yet in Jesus name. Enjoy your day darling,” she wrote in a birthday message to her director.
Her post comes amid criticism over her decision to feature Baba Ijesha, whose real name is Olanrewaju Omiyinka, on her podcast. The interview sparked widespread reactions, with many Nigerians questioning why he was given a platform following his conviction in a case involving a minor.
During the interview, Baba Ijesha claimed that the incident leading to his conviction was a “setup” and that he had been misunderstood.
The controversy has also affected her relationships within the industry, as Iyabo Ojo reportedly unfollowed her on Instagram after the episode went viral.
