In a recent interview on the ‘Honest Bunch podcast’, Babatunde Bernard, popularly known as Baba Tee, has accused fellow comedian Seyi Law of intellectual theft. The Yoruba comic actor opened up about his strained relationship with Seyi Law, alleging that his colleague had stolen his jokes for personal gain.

Baba Tee recounted how Seyi Law used his material without permission at one of AY Makun’s shows. He expressed his disappointment, stating, “Seyi Law was my best friend, we were very close, but one day, Omo Jesus called me to inform me Seyi Law was using my joke at AY Makun’s concert. He used my material to do an Open Mic at his show. I didn’t believe it until he rendered my joke at a show I attended. My intellectual property and I once noticed it before.”

The severity of the situation is evident as this accusation of intellectual theft can have serious repercussions in the entertainment industry. Baba Tee’s claims were further amplified when a video surfaced on Twitter, showcasing his statement about Seyi Law’s betrayal.

This accusation has shed light on the issue of intellectual property theft within the comedy community, sparking discussions and debates among fans and industry insiders. The video has garnered attention and has led to a public airing of grievances between the two comedians.

Seyi Law has not publicly responded to these allegations, leaving the situation unresolved and causing tensions to rise within the comedy circle. This controversy has brought into question the ethical practices and code of conduct within the entertainment industry, particularly regarding the proper use of original material and the protection of intellectual property.
