At Last, Teddy A Speaks On Beating They His Wife Bambam
Reality TV star, Tope Adenibuyan popularly known as Teddy A has opened up about how false stories about his private life deeply affected him.
He mentioned a report that accused him of abusing his wife, actress Bamike “Bambam” Olawunmi.
The Genius Media Nigeria reports that the singer spoke on the issue during an interview on the WithChude Podcast, which aired on Saturday, February 7, 2026.
The actor explained that the abuse claim stood out as the most painful story he had ever read about himself. He recalled that the day he came across the report, his wife was at home, pregnant, relaxed and watching a movie.
Everything seemed normal until he began receiving unusual notifications on his phone. According to him, the alerts confused him because he had not shared any new content online.
Curious, he checked social media and began reading comments, only to discover that people were discussing a story that accused him of beating his wife, including during her pregnancy.
He said the allegation shocked both him and his wife.Bambam, he explained, became emotional and kept asking where such a story came from.
Teddy A added that he had no idea who started it and could not trace its source. Following the discovery, he contacted his manager to ask how to respond.
He was advised not to react publicly and to allow the story die down on its own. At the time, he agreed with the advice and chose to remain silent. However, Teddy A said he later realized that staying quiet had lasting effects on his image.
He explained that the accusation continued to resurface in comment sections long after the initial report, even under posts that had nothing to do with the issue.
He said that people kept bringing it up under his personal posts with his wife, questioning their relationship and repeating the same claim.
This, he said, happened despite efforts by his wife to clear the air and show that the story was not true. Teddy A admitted that the situation affected how people viewed him and created a wrong picture of his marriage.
He said the false narrative lingered online and continued to shape opinions about him in ways he never expected.
He said: “When they said I was beating my wife, that was a lot. I woke up, went downstairs, my wife was there, she was watching a movie, she was pregnant and laughing.
“Then I checked my phone and saw my notifications going off. I was like, I didn’t drop any content that’s trending, what’s going on, what did I do, or what are they saying now? As I went through the comments, my wife became very emotional and kept asking who did this. I honestly didn’t know, maybe it was one ex somewhere or village people trying to come after me.
“I called my manager to ask what we should do and he told me not to fuel the fire and just let it go. At the time, I didn’t really see the damage staying silent would do to my reputation. Even when my wife and I post ourselves, people still comment and ask if I’m sure I don’t beat my wife. Why would they say that? Why on earth would they do that? It affected me because it made people see me in a way that wasn’t true.”
