Nollywood actress Bimbo Ademoye has fired back at critics who have been insulting her over her recent cash and gift giveaways. The star took to her Instagram page to address the growing wave of negativity, making it clear she will not tolerate disrespect while continuing her efforts to give back to fans.
Ademoye explained that the giveaways stem from the massive success of her latest movie, which pulled in 10 million views in just 10 days. She described the gestures as her way of showing appreciation, funding everything straight from her own pocket.
“This giveaway is to give back to my people and have fun while at it.”
The actress revealed that some followers have slid into her DMs accusing her of faking the giveaways and hurling personal insults. One particularly harsh comment called her a “stingy goat.” She expressed disappointment, especially given the tough economy, but stressed her limits.
“While I understand that the economy is tough and a lot of us need money… I’m only one person; there are 5.1 million of you here! If I could, I’d give every single one of my followers the money without stress, but that would be a total of 510 billion naira! I no get, my papa no get, my forefathers no get! I’m only doing the little I can from MY POCKET!”
Ademoye highlighted her commitment to fairness, noting that she deliberately keeps friends and family out of the contests to avoid any appearance of bias. She also reminded fans of her quieter generosity.
“I’ve given out millions without a single soul knowing.”
The star drew a firm line on disrespect.
“I do not do well with disrespect at all… We might kiki, catch a cruise and all, but when you cross the line, I can be petty enough to find you, then we can handle it one-on-one! Pls let’s be guided! LET US ALL BE GUIDED!”
Ademoye’s message comes after a year that already tested her patience with online drama. Her latest response shows a consistent stance of supporting her fans but refusing to be bullied.
As the giveaways continue to spark excitement and debate, Bimbo Ademoye remains focused on celebrating her movie milestone and sharing the love in her own way. Fans have mixed reactions, with many praising her transparency while others continue to push for more.
