“Fame is bittersweet, but I stay grounded” – Actress Bimbo Ademoye

• Nollywood actress Bimbo Ademoye has discussed the complexities of fame, describing it as both a blessing and a challenge.

Nollywood actress Bimbo Ademoye has candidly discussed the intricacies of fame, characterizing it as both a privilege and a hurdle.

In a conversation with Saturday Beats, she articulated her viewpoint:

“Fame has blessed me, to be honest. I have been able to receive favours from people. Yet, I have managed to stay grounded and not let the fame get into my head. I don’t see myself as a famous person. I don’t even like the word ‘celebrity.’ I prefer being referred to as a ‘public figure.’”

In reflecting on the transformation of Nollywood, the award-winning actress conveyed her enthusiasm regarding the advancements within the industry, stating,

“I am very happy with the changes I’m seeing in Nollywood. People are now taking their time to shoot better-quality content. I’m really impressed with the improvement in Nollywood. I would love to see more. I pray we can have a Tyler Perry-style studio where we can walk in and shoot different projects.”

When discussing her path as a filmmaker on YouTube, Ademoye modestly credited her achievements to divine intervention.

Looking to the future, the actress noted, “I don’t see myself the way people see me. I feel like I’m just starting. There’s a lot I haven’t done. Not that I’m rushing, but I haven’t directed my film yet. I haven’t made my cinema debut.”
