Award-winning Nollywood actress Bimbo Ademoye has called out a former close friend who, out of envy, betrayed her, used her for clout, and even tried to ruin her relationship.
In a post on her verified Instagram page on Tuesday, Bimbo — who is reportedly engaged to VJ Adams — revealed how the once-trusted friend, who also wanted to become an actress, grew bitter and competitive despite all the support Bimbo gave her.
But the friendship started to fall apart after a shocking incident at a movie premiere where Bimbo was the lead star. After she had been styled and prepared for the red carpet, she was stunned to see her friend show up wearing the exact same dress — only in a different colour.
Soon, Bimbo began to notice a pattern. At every event, the friend would try to outshine her, always appearing in more extravagant outfits — all paid for by Bimbo herself.
The breaking point came when Bimbo fell seriously ill and the friend vanished without a trace. What happened next shocked her even more — she claimed the former friend created a fake Instagram account to troll her and even sent her then-boyfriend messages filled with damaging lies. The actress added that she tried to link up with her man romantically.
Bimbo Ademoye; “I remember I once had a friend who wanted to be an actor as well.. whenever we attended events, I’d shop for her as well, I’m talking clothes,shoes ,bags and all. I wanted her to look like the superstar she wanted to become. Mind you I was already getting fame, because I already had movies like sugar rush, looking for baami, back up wife and all, let me add that I had already been nominated twice for the amvca. One day, I had a premiere to attend, it was movie I was in and I played the lead role.
My stylist had done fittings for me like twice in the presence of this friend. I had asked her what she was going to wear and she was like “I don’t even know, maybe I’d just look casual chic” , I responded with “just look good o, you can’t be my friend and look drab” . I got my make-up done, hair done, everything done. It was time to wear my dress. Tell me why aunty pulled out thesame exact dress I was wearing in another colour . 😂🤣🤣.
In all honesty, I didn’t really mind. But my sister who has never been wrong said to me “preke I don’t thin that was ok, she should let you have your moment, she’s not even an actress yet ,talk more of being in the film you’re for ” I told her ” naaah it’s not that serious bikesy” . It was as if something woke up in her that day, for every event we attended, she’d always want to dress or look more expensive, (which I didn’t mind ) ON MY TAB. then one day, I fell sick.
Days turned to weeks, weeks to months, I didn’t see this aunty. So I took my L and cut her off. Tell me why this daughter of jezebel created a fake page on ig and started trolling me and sending messages to my boyfriend at the time saying all sorts. The craziest part ,she even tried to link up with him romantically 😂🤣🤣…. Anyways let me stop here. We’d continue this story another day, of There’s any need to.”
