Mo Bimpe defends her marriage to Lateef Adedimeji after a viral video

A few seconds of video, and social media went into a frenzy. Nigerian actress Mo Bimpe spoke out after the viral release of a clip showing her interacting with her colleague Jide Awobona, while her husband Lateef Adedimeji was by her side.

Filmed on September 2 in Lagos during the premiere of A Mama Deola Wedding Story, the scene shows Adebimpe Oyebade, known as Mo Bimpe, interacting with Jide Awobona around her phone. Some internet users later interpreted Lateef Adedimeji’s demeanor as discomfort, a reading that nothing in the video, however, allows to be established as a fact.

Mo Bimpe dismisses the speculations

In response to the comments, the actress chose to reply on Instagram. She presents the exchange as a normal conversation between friends and colleagues and refuses to see it as a threat to her relationship.

Her message is clear: her marriage, she explains, is based on trust, respect, and mutual assurance. She describes Lateef Adedimeji as a confident man and believes that a brief interaction with a family friend does not jeopardize their relationship.

Mo Bimpe’s reaction was reported on Monday, September 7, by several Nigerian media outlets, including Pulse Nigeria, Vanguard, and New Telegraph. All recall that the controversy arose from interpretations of the video by internet users, and not from a statement by the couple announcing a crisis.

A highly followed couple in Nollywood

Mo Bimpe and Lateef Adedimeji got married in December 2021. Their relationship is regularly followed by the Nollywood audience and on social media, where their appearances can quickly generate commentary.

This time, the actress wanted to put an end to the insinuations. No announcement of a breakup, no confirmed crisis: just a viral video, comments, and a public clarification about trust in her marriage. Also find celebrity news from Nigeria on BeninWebTV.
