Popular Kannywood actress, Ummi Ibrahim, fondly called Ummi Zee Zee has affirmed the gossip that she has dated the former Head of State, Ibrahim Babangida before.
Ummi shared this during a chat with DailyTrust Weekend magazine while answering questions about a report that she once dated IBB.
“Yes, that news was from me. Former Head of State General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida was my boyfriend then but not anymore. However, we are presently friends and we respect each other. Currently, I have a boyfriend who is not in the entertainment industry and we are planning to get married, God willing,” she said.
The actress also discredits the gossip that she once tried to commit suicide.
“It is unfortunate that my social media post was wrongly interpreted. The post I made was in English and it was just a grammatical expression showing my bitterness on what had happened to me as a businesswoman.
“The reason for my post was because I was duped by a business partner, and I lost a huge sum of money in the process. It was a breach of trust and it was so devastating that I took to my page and made the post showing my dismay at what had happened to me. The story went viral that I am contemplating suicide. I never said I was going to do that. Why should I even do that?” She said.
Recall that Ummi shared what many described as a suicidal note on her Instagram page in April. The actress later explained that she was defrauded N450 million by a fraudster.
