If You Don’t Want To Accept That I’m 40, Fine, I’m Okay With It – Nollywood Actress Bidemi Kosoko

According to a report by Daily Post on Thursday November 12, 2026, Nollywood actress Bidemi Kosoko has responded to social media users questioning her actual age, firmly maintaining that she is 40 years old. She also cautioned critics against involving her father and husband in discussions surrounding her age.

The actress explained that she decided to speak publicly because of the continuous insults and allegations circulating online. According to her, some social media users have accused members of her family of helping her hide her real age.

In a video shared on her Instagram account, Kosoko expressed disappointment over the repeated comments, questioning why people were so interested in determining how old she was.

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

She also addressed comparisons involving fellow actress Shola, whom some critics had reportedly accused of misrepresenting her age. Kosoko questioned the argument, asking whether Shola looked like a baby to justify the criticism.

The actress further explained that her friendly relationship with people from different age groups and social backgrounds might have contributed to the confusion surrounding her age.

She noted that because she interacts comfortably with people regardless of their ages or social positions, some individuals mistakenly assume that she belongs to their generation.

Kosoko also attributed her youthful physical appearance to God’s blessings, suggesting that looking younger than her actual age should not become a reason for public criticism.

The actress additionally disclosed that she previously reduced her age but eventually stopped the practice after her father began announcing her actual age during her birthday celebrations.

She maintained that she had nothing to hide and was comfortable with people accepting or rejecting her explanation.

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

Kosoko’s response comes amid continued discussions about celebrities’ ages and the scrutiny public figures often face over personal information shared on social media.
