- Olamide apologizes to Jigan Babaoja after he threatens a lawsuit against him for mocking his disability (Video)
Renowned Nigerian singer Olamide has issued a public apology to actor Jigan Babaoja after the actor threatened to take legal action against him for making fun of his disability.
Olamide had posted a video on his social media in which he sang a line from Asake’s song “2:30” that referenced Jigan Babaoja’s disability. Jigan Babaoja, in response, shared the video on his own social media while expressing his intention to sue Olamide if his concerns were not addressed.
Understanding the gravity of the situation, Olamide took swift action by posting an apology on his social media platforms. He acknowledged the insensitivity of his actions and expressed regret for causing any hurt to Jigan Babaoja. Olamide also affirmed that he respects and holds the actor in high regard.

Jigan Babaoja wrote; “We have a case ooooooo @olamide don price ooo court straight on Monday !!!!!! He’s either e press or meet us for court.”
