Bidemi Kosoko blasts critics over age controversy

Bidemi Kosoko, Nollywood actress and daughter of veteran actor Prince Jide Kosoko, has reacted to the online questions about her legal age, warning critics to stop dragging her father and husband into the controversy.

The actress, in a video, lashed out at social media users questioning her age, insisting that she is 40. Kosoko explained that she decided to address the issue publicly because of repeated insults and claims that her family members had helped her conceal her real age.

She also expressed frustration over the comments, questioning why people were so concerned about her age. She dismissed comparisons involving actress Shola, explained that because she relates freely with people regardless of their age or social status, some people wrongly assume they are her age mates.

“On a normal day I won’t be bothered but it is getting too much, you just keep insulting me. If you don’t want to accept that I’m 40, fine, I’m okay with it,” she said.

She stressed that her youthful appearance was a gift from God.
