Bidemi Kosoko Breaks Silence Over Age Controversy, Reveals Why She Stopped Hiding Her Age

According to dailypost, Thursday, November 12, 2026, Nollywood actress Bidemi Kosoko has responded angrily to social media users questioning her age, insisting that she is 40 while urging critics to stop involving her father and husband in the discussion.

The actress addressed the controversy in a video shared on her Instagram page, where she expressed frustration over what she described as repeated insults and claims surrounding her age.

According to Kosoko, she would ordinarily ignore such comments, but the constant attacks had reached a point where she felt compelled to speak out.

“On a normal day I won’t be bothered but it is getting too much, you just keep insulting me,” she said.

She also questioned why some social media users were so concerned about how old she was, particularly those bringing her family members into the argument.

The actress further reacted to comparisons involving another actress, Shola, who was reportedly accused by critics of being dishonest about her age. Kosoko questioned the basis of the comparison, asking whether Shola looked like a baby.

Explaining why some people might find her age difficult to believe, she said her friendly nature sometimes makes people assume she is their age mate, regardless of their actual ages or social positions.

She also attributed her youthful appearance to God’s grace, maintaining that how she looks should not be used to question the age she has openly stated.

Kosoko disclosed that there was a time she used to reduce her age, but she stopped after her father began announcing it publicly during her birthday celebrations.

Despite the criticism, the actress maintained that she was comfortable with her age and would not be pressured into convincing people who refused to accept it.

“If you don’t want to accept that I’m 40, fine, I’m okay with it,” she said.
