The writer and actor popularly referred to as ‘Tatafo’ courted controversy when she let loose on her male colleagues during her stand up act at AY Live concert recently.
Helen bashed several of her ‘senior colleagues’ including veteran stand up comic Ali Baba and this made a few fans assume they had unresolved issues between them.
Ali Baba’s recent comment on instagram regarding a certain host and her mannerism led fans to believe he was addressing the Helen Paul incident.
Helen has however denied Ali Baba was referring to her and has said there’s no beef between them.
Taking to her instagram page, she wrote: “I have watched with mixed feelings, ranging from bewilderment at first, to amazement, and now utter amusement, as some mischief makers have tried to create a non-existent frosty relationship between me and my father and mentor in the industry, Ali Baba. It all started with my jabs at a show – something we all as comedians throw at each other every now and then. All done for laughs – nothing personal.
“Ali Baba is someone I respect a lot and it will be foolhardy for anyone to think that I was ‘insulting’ him at that event. I am like a daughter to him and I am sure if he has any issues with me, he would, as an elder and a father, talk to me personally about it. The account and scenario described in his post allegedly referring to me did not even happen to or involve me. It amuses me how people easily read between imaginary lines so that they, like Don King, can promote battles, lol.”
