Nollywood actress Bimbo Ademoye has shared her thoughts on the complexities of fame, describing it as a double-edged sword—a blessing and a challenge.
In an interview with Saturday Beats, she revealed her views:
“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.’”
Reflecting on the evolution of Nollywood, the award-winning actress expressed her enthusiasm for the industry’s progress, saying,
“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 asked about her career in YouTube filmmaking, Ademoye modestly credited her success to divine intervention.
Looking ahead, she said, “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.”
