Top 5: Lies Told by Our Celebrities

Yes they are celebs and that is what makes a little lie a big deal to people because they are in the public light and their life is really no longer their business but ‘everyone’s business’. Here are the top 5 celebs and the little lies they have told over time:

Tiwa savage
So many times Tiwa Savage and her manager, Tee Billz were found kissing and caressing each other. Even the social media was rife with pictures suggesting some romantic dalliances between the duo. Yet the ‘kele kele’ crooner vehemently denied any relationship between the two of them insisting they had nothing beyond work relationship.
“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 rumor; we are not dating’. These were the exact words of Tiwa when she was confronted with questions about her romance with Tee Billz.
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 will find it hard to believe the pretty star.
D Banj
In 2012, when the Koko master premiered his first reality show, Koko Mansion, he made series of promises which till today has remained unfulfilled.
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 beauty, Genevieve Nnaji, in the video.
Tuface Idibia
It may have been that Tu Baba had one woman in mind when he wrote and sang African Queen, but for long he has been entangled in a love triangle involving not less than three African beauties; who have given him children.
He did find this situation funny, hence in his earlier interview with Entertainment Express, the international star stated thus: “the truth is that marriage is not in my plans. I will never marry. Let me put it bluntly. I don’t want to marry. I am angry.”
Today, as you read this, Tuface is not only married but had a large society wedding outside the country precisely in Dubai. So, the truth is, either Tu Baba lied about his decision never to marry or he simply had a rethink.
Funke Akindele
So many white lies has escaped the lips of our dear Funke Akindele a.k.a Jenifa, especially about her wedding to long time lover, Kehinde Adeola Oloyede popularly known as Kehinde  Almaroof. She lied in print about the venue of the much talked about wedding.
While the ceremony was scheduled to hold at The Havens Events Centre, Oba Akinjobi Road, GRA, Ikeja, she circulated an invitation card which read, All Seasons Plaza, Lateef Jakande Road, Agidingbi, Ikeja, Lagos as the venue.
Apart from the media, she also misled other invitees, especially those from distant places clad in Aso Ebi who expressed their regrets and disappointment on finding out the truth. When confronted, Akindele, who spoke through her media aide, blatantly denied knowledge of the card with the fake address.     
Yvonne Nelson
Her recent outburst calculated at tarnishing the image of Kukere crooner, Iyanya came as a rude shock to many people.
When, the going was good, the star actress not only savoured good moments of the romance with the “Ur Waist” master; she also denied having an affair with Iyanya. But when the relationship crashed and became an open secret, all she could do was to bow in shame. Suddenly the lie about not dating the artiste turned out to be the truth about her reported heartbreak.
