Nollywood superstar Lateef Adedimeji has finally spoken out following days of intense social media scrutiny surrounding a viral video of his wife, Mo Bimpe, and their colleague, Jide Awobona.
The controversy began after a short video clip from content creator Folagade Banks’ movie premiere circulated widely online. In the footage, Mo Bimpe was seen seated between her husband, Lateef, and Awobona, engaging in a lively conversation with the latter. Some social media users quickly pointed out that Lateef appeared visibly uncomfortable during the interaction, prompting widespread speculation and debate about their marriage.
