Similoluwa, daughter of Nollywood star Laide Bakare, has sparked buzz on social media after celebrating her 17th birthday.
The proud mother had earlier shared the news of her daughter’s milestone last week, playfully noting how quickly she has grown and joking about being intimidated by her height.
“Yes, she’s taller than me 🙈😃 @simlineboss is such a beauty! Ajeh! 💃❤️💋 On Sunday we party hard 💃,” Laide wrote while announcing the celebration
To mark the occasion, Laide Bakare threw a grand birthday bash on Sunday, September 7, at the Oriental Hotel in Lagos, with celebrities like Biola Bayo and Ayo Olaiya in attendance.
A video from the event that surfaced online showed Simi dancing happily while surrounded by her friends. However, her mature look quickly stirred conversations.
Many netizens expressed doubt about her age, arguing that she appears much older than 17.
