Popular actress and producer Bimbo Ademoye has recounted a bad experience with a close friend who turned foe out of jealousy.
In a post on Instagram, Bimbo revealed that she once supported a friend, who aspired to become an actress, by buying her clothes, shoes, and bags to help her feel like a superstar at events.
Trouble was said to have started when the friend appeared at a movie premiere wearing the exact same dress as Bimbo, only in a different colour.
It was gathered that Bimbo’s sister later observed that the friend was always trying to compete with and outshine her, but Bimbo initially brushed off the warning.
She said that things escalated after she fell ill and distanced herself from the friend.
According to her, in retaliation, the friend allegedly created a fake Instagram account to send abusive messages to her then-boyfriend, claiming that the friend tried to flirt with him.

Ademoye wrote: “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 about 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, Backup Wife,. Let me add that I had already been nominated twice for the AMVCA. One day, I had a premiere to attend, it was a 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, you can’t be my friend and look drab”. I got my makeup done, hair done, everything done. It was time to wear my dress. Tell me why Aunty pulled out the same 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 crazīest part, she even tried to link up with him romantically.”
