Since his Instagram rants last week, Tunji Balogun ‘Tee Billz’ has not
been finding life easy. First he attempted suicide on the Lekki-Ikoyi
bridge but fortunately for him, Banky W and Peter Okoye of P-Square
saved him just at the nick of time.
Depression from suffocating marriage
to Tiwa Savage, was manipulated as the major reason but the ex- artiste
manager’s woes were soon compounded when his wife granted an interview
to portray him as an irresponsible husband, father, drug addict, chronic
debtor and a first rate womaniser.

TeeBillz With the enormity of the allegations, everyone expected Tee
Billz to fight back and tell his own side of the story but what has come
from him is dead silence. After his wife’s revelations Potpourri got on
his trail hoping to extract from him some sort of comments but we met
nothing but a cold track.
His whereabouts remain unknown
After
being rescued by Banky W and P-Square’s Peter, it was alleged that
Teebillz had been taken to Banky W’s home. However, there were
unconfirmed reports that Banky W’s mom chased him out of the house after
watching Tiwa’s video interview in which she stated her own side of the
story. Meanwhile, Banky W is presently in Tanzania for a Ciroc event,
and it is unlikely that he would leave Teebillz in his house during his
absence. Another unconfirmed report alleged that Teebillz has been moved
to a new apartment at 1004 Estate in Victoria Island.
Despite
the claims however, no one has been able to confirm where Teebillz is at
the moment. Many fans of the couple have been wondering where he could
be, but none of his close friends and associates have volunteered an
answer.
A close friend of his said he stays in an hotel in Lekki
area of Lagos, saying “I don’t think N20,000 a night is something that
should bother him even as broke as he is. Besides, he has friends who
have just arrived from US to help him.”
Tee Billz set to fight back
Although
his whereabouts is still unclear but a source very close to him
confided in Potpourri that the embittered husband of Tiwa Savage is
preparing to fight back, not with emotional outbursts, the like his wife
demonstrated in her video interview but with hard facts.
Our
source disclosed that the first of such many steps to fight back was the
drug abuse test which his friends made him take and Potpourri can
authoritatively confirm he actually took the test and he was declared
free of drug use.
We never arrested or invited Tee Billz — NDLEA
Contrary
to reports making the rounds that the former manager and husband of
Tiwa Savage, Tee Billz was invited and arrested by the National Drug Law
Enforcement Agency, the agency has squashed the reports, saying there
was no substance in the report.
The spokesperson for the agency,
Michelle Ofoyeju told Potpourri that it is not the business of the
agency to arrest drug users. “ There is no substance in the story that
NDLEA invited or arrested Tee Billz. The agency cannot be dragged into
their marital crisis. We do not arrest drug abusers, what we do is to
recommend them for counselling and rehabilitation. The drug user is also
a victim of drug trafficking” she said.
Tee Billz seeks spiritual help
While
the whole entertainment community of Nigeria is looking for Tee Billz,
there are hints from some reliable sources that he has been receiving
spiritual guidance and counselling from Pastor Ituah Ighodalo, General
Overseer of Trinity House and Pastor Ayo Oluokun from City of David
Church who was the first to reach out to him and pray with him, and for
him daily since his breakdown.
He has also been receiving life
coaching sessions and therapy by Lanre Olusola also known as The
Catalyst whom he first met over 2 years ago at the beginning of his
struggles with depression. Sources close to Tee billz say he
acknowledges that he has made mistakes, and he is taking steps to mend
and rebuild his life by getting the help he needs in order to be a
renewed man for his family and loved ones.
