I’m 40, Take It Or Leave It – Bidemi Kosoko F!res Back At Critics Over Age Controversy

Nollywood actress Bidemi Kosoko has reacted angrily to social media users questioning her age, insisting that she is 40 years old and warning critics to stop involving her father and husband in the controversy.

The actress addressed the issue in a video shared on her Instagram page, explaining that she decided to speak publicly after repeated insults and allegations that members of her family had helped conceal her actual age.

According to information available to Bush Radio Academy, Kosoko expressed frustration over the persistent criticism, questioning why some social media users were overly concerned about how old she was.

She noted that although she would ordinarily ignore such comments, the continuous insults had become unbearable.

The actress also dismissed comparisons involving fellow actress Shola, whom some critics had reportedly accused of misrepresenting her age. She questioned the basis of the comparisons and challenged those making the claims to reconsider their comments.

Kosoko explained that her friendly nature and ability to relate comfortably with people across different age groups sometimes make others assume she is their age mate.

She further attributed her youthful appearance to God’s grace, insisting that it should not be used as a reason to question her stated age.

The actress also disclosed that she previously reduced her age but stopped after her father began publicly announcing it during her birthday celebrations.

Reaffirming her position, Kosoko maintained that she was comfortable with her age, regardless of whether critics chose to believe her.

“If you don’t want to accept that I’m 40, fine, I’m okay with it,” she said.
