Mo Bimpe addresses viral video controversy involving colleague Jide Awobona

Nollywood actress Mo Bimpe has responded to social media criticism following a viral video recorded at the premiere of ‘Mama Deola Wedding Story’. The footage shows Bimpe interacting closely with colleague Jide Awobona, including whispering in his ear, while her husband, actor Lateef Adedimeji, was standing nearby.

Online commenters expressed divided opinions, with some suggesting the body language was inappropriate given her husband's presence, while others viewed it as a casual interaction between colleagues.

Addressing the backlash, Bimpe stated that the one-minute clip has been subjected to unnecessary public analysis. She defended the interaction as a normal conversation between friends and emphasized that her marriage is built on trust rather than insecurity. She noted that her husband is a secure man and that a brief chat with a family friend does not threaten their relationship.
