Bimbo Ademoye has reacted strongly to suggestions that her emotional videos are a deliberate tactic to draw attention to her film projects.
The actress, who recently dropped a new movie on her YouTube channel, had earlier opened up about technical and copyright-related issues affecting its release. Her emotional response quickly sparked conversations online, with some viewers questioning whether it was timed to boost publicity.
An X user, Damola, criticised the video, describing it as predictable and implying it followed a familiar pattern tied to her movie launches. “Bimbo Ademoye dropping a video with puffy red eyes on her film’s release day, talking about how the devil is trying to test her. The script is so tiring at this point,” he wrote.
Addressing the backlash during a live session, Ademoye dismissed the claim, making it clear that her reaction came from genuine frustration. She explained that producing her films involves serious planning, financial commitment, and teamwork, noting that several people work tirelessly behind the scenes.
“Don’t do that. Am I supposed to be battling people over stealing my film title and thumbnail? Do you think I just pick people’s pictures and merge them together? I organise proper photoshoots. I still pay for thumbnails and posters, only for someone to steal my hard work. Then someone says this is a strategy. What bloody strategy?” she said.
“I have people who sacrifice their time and energy for me. Nobody sleeps. So you now think the way I would promote my film is to cry?”
“Don’t ever reduce my hard work to crying as my strategy to sell my film”
