To these showbiz stars, speaking from both sides of their mouth is a thing of joy and pride. Over time, these entertainers have publicly lied and deceived the media, their fans and the world at large, only to be found eating back their words and burying their heads in shame, especially when the truth surfaces and becomes unassailable.
The case of busty crossover actress, Foluke Daramola is not just one among many others, but also a clue to how our screen idols blatantly betray our trust in them.
For instance, many months after denying her romantic affair with Kayode Salako, Daramola finally tied the knot with same man, to the consternation of many.
However, while some have had to lie in order to save a situation, others have proved to be congenital liars who have constantly cajoled the public with inveterate lies.
In this authentic list, Entertainment Express showcases ten top entertainers and the many shocking lies they boldly told the public through the media. The list is arranged based on the gravity of the lies.
Foluke Daramola
romantic dalliances with Kayode Salako, describing it as “baseless rumour” and a “disservice from the Nigerian Journalists,” busty crossover actress, Foluke Daramola on February 15, 2013, tied the nuptial knot with Salako at No.2, Gbeleyi Avenue, by Femifoam Oyemekun, College Road, Ifako-Ijaiye, Lagos.
In her earlier interview with Entertainment Express, the actress had denied having any romantic affair with Salako. Her words: “I work with this person they are talking about. We work together at Change Agents Network. If any journalist has caught I and Kayode Salako in an uncompromising situation and wrote the story, I wouldn’t need to be told that he has done an investigative story. To just see me and him working together and conclude that there is something intimate is a baseless accusation. How can you tell me that I’m romantically involved with somebody I work with because his wife left? Does that make any sense?” she fumed during the interview.
The recent wedding did not only put an end to her many months of lies and denials, but also made her a subject of ridicule, for continuously lying to her fans, the media, and the entire public
Shan George
These are people who have been lured to bed with whiff of money by top politicians and businessmen. These same people will be claiming to be happily married.”
However, few days after this outburst, Shan George ate back her words. But instead of doing so honourably, and apologizing to those hit and hurt by her revelation, the actress went lying, and denying to have made such a comment. “Jesus! That is the worst mudslinging technique I have ever experienced.
That is so crappy for someone to quote a childish caption like that on me,” she lied.
K-Solo
The estranged wife, Christy Kikelomo Akinkunmi with swollen and blood-stained face had alleged thus: “K-Solo started beating me [up] immediately after our wedding and I lost the baby I was carrying when we got married on November 26.
The marriage finally crashed in February 2012 when he called me and told me that Timaya just bought a Nigerian-used Range Rover Sport, that he wants me to buy him a brand new Range Rover worth 7.5 million and also put N10 million in his account. I told him that even if I had the money, I won’t do it.”
Instead of intelligently making up with his embittered wife and apologizing, K-solo blatantly told the media and everyone that cared to listen about how they staged the situation to attract media attention. Unfortunately for him, the big lie came back to haunt him, as the marriage finally collapsed barely one month after his failed attempt to deceive the world as a failed producer.
Tiwa Savage
“I am not engaged and I am not dating Tee Billz. He is just my manager. The story that I am having an affair with him is mere rumour; we are not dating.” These were the exact words of Tiwa when she was confronted with questions about her romance with Tee Blizz.
Having grudgingly swallowed this lie and denial, Nigerians were recently dumbfounded when videos of their engagement began trending online.
Today, most people are not upset because they were lied to after the love birds recently got engaged, they are upset because from now on they would find it difficult to believe their much admired singer for denying what is already obvious.
Funke Akindele
While the ceremony was scheduled to hold at The Havens Event Centre, Oba Akinjobi Road, GRA, Ikeja, the invitation card she circulated carried different address-All Seasons Plaza, Lateef Jakande Road, Agidingbi, Ikeja, Lagos.
Apart from the media, so many other invitees, especially those from distant places, clad in Aso Ebi, also expressed regrets and disappointment on finding out they had been misled and lied to by their darling star.
When confronted, Akindele, who spoke through her media aide, blatantly denied knowledge of the card with the fake address. But nobody believed her cock and bull story.
Yvonne Nelson
In other words, when the going was good, the Nollywood actress not only savoured good moments of romantic relationship with the singer, she also denied having an affair with Iyanya.
When the relationship crashed and became an open secret, all she could do was to bow her head in shame, and of course, she moved on with her life. Would she ever be believed again?
Zakky Azzay
“I have fainted more than two times after being beaten mercilessly by Zakky Azzay. I almost died in his hands. On so many occasions, I had packed out of his house after unbearable assaults and beatings from the man I call my husband. In fact, since our troubled marriage, I have packed out of his house a record eight times.
Zakky has beaten me on the street of Gbagada before. He even bought cutlass which he said he will use to kill me!” She avowed.
However, when confronted with the poser concerning the wife battery allegations, Zakky not only lied, he claimed not to have raised a finger against his wife, let alone hitting her. Till date nobody believed Azzay’s white lies, as the truth later surfaced.
Tuface Idibia
He did not find this situation funny, hence in his earlier interview with Entertainment Express, the international act stated thus: “The truth is that marriage is not in my plans. I will never marry. Let me put it that bluntly. I don’t want to marry. I am angry.”
Today, as you read this, the wedding bell is already jiggling, with date and venue fixed. The truth is, either he earlier lied about his decision never to marry or he simply had a rethink.
D’Banj

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 reneged on the promise, as he ended up featuring Nollywood star, Genevieve Nnaji in the official video.
