Bidemi Kosoko Addresses Age Controversy, Shares Birth Certificate

Nollywood actress Bidemi Kosoko has responded to questions and comments about her age after facing criticism following her 40th birthday celebration.

Kemi Filani had earlier reported that the actress, who is the daughter of veteran actor Jide Kosoko, recently celebrated her 40th birthday.

However, her age became a subject of discussion on social media, with some users expressing surprise and questioning the information.

Reacting to the comments, Bidemi took to her instagram page to address the controversy. In a series of videos, the actress displayed her birth certificate as evidence of her date of birth. The document indicated that she was born in 1986.

Bidemi expressed disappointment over the personal remarks and comparisons she had received since the discussion began.

She particularly addressed comments comparing her age with that of her elder sister, actress Sola Kosoko, who is older than her.

The actress explained that Sola is not her immediate elder sister, pointing out that three other siblings come between them. She also questioned why her age had generated so much attention, insisting that she had no reason to misrepresent it.

In one of her messages, Bidemi said she had decided to address the issue because the comments were becoming frustrating. She also appreciated friends and fans who had continued to support her despite the online discussions.

Bidemi’s response comes amid previous discussions involving celebrities and public questions about their ages.

Last year, actress Laide Bakare attracted attention after disclosing that she was 36 while sharing pictures of herself with her mother and daughter.

Similarly, Uche Ogbodo once responded to a social media user who questioned her age. The actress shared a picture of her passport’s biodata page while addressing the comments.

Reality TV star Mercy Eke also faced questions about her age after details about her date of birth circulated online. Her sister, Sweery Eke, subsequently defended her by sharing a screenshot of her birth certificate.

Other celebrities, including Nkechi Blessing and Caroline Danjuma, have also addressed public discussions about their ages.

With her latest post, Bidemi appears determined to put the questions surrounding her age to rest.
