However, things took a strange turn at a movie premiere. Bimbo explained that after doing fittings with her stylist for the big event, she asked her friend what she planned to wear but her friend said not to worry. To Bimbo’s surprise, the friend showed up in the exact same dress, just in a different color. Although it raised eyebrows, she didn’t let it bother her.
But the pattern continued. According to Bimbo, the friend began trying to outshine her in everything. Things worsened when Bimbo fell ill and the friend never checked in on her. It was then that the actress decided to distance herself from the relationship.

Shockingly, the friend retaliated by creating a fake Instagram account to troll Bimbo online. She even went as far as messaging Bimbo’s then-boyfriend and attempting to start a relationship with her ex.

“I remember I once had a friend who wanted to be an actor as well. Whenever we attended events, I’d shop for her as well, I’m talking clothes, shoes, bags and all. I wanted her to look like the superstar she wanted to become. Mind you, I was already getting fame, because I already had movies like Sugar Rush, Looking for Baami, Backup Wife, and all, let me add that I had already been nominated twice for the AMVCA. One day, I had a premiere to attend, it was a movie I was in, and I played the lead role. My stylist had done fittings for me, like twice, in the presence of this friend. I had asked her what she was going to wear, and she was like “I don’t even know, maybe I’d just look casual chic” I responded with “Just look good, you can’t be my friend and look drab”. I got my makeup done, hair done, everything done. It was time to wear my dress. Tell me why Aunty pulled out the same exact dress I was wearing in another colour. In all honesty, I didn’t really mind. But my sister who has never been wrong said to me “preke I don’t thin that was ok, she should let you have your moment, she’s not even an actress yet, talk more of being in the film you’re for ” I told her ” naaah it’s not that serious bikesy”. It was as if something woke up in her that day, for every event we attended, she’d always want to dress or look more expensive, (which I didn’t mind ) ON MY TAB. then one day, I fell sick. Days turned to weeks, weeks to months, I didn’t see this aunty. So I took my L and cut her off. Tell me why this daughter of jezebel created a fake page on IG and started trolling me and sending messages to my boyfriend at the time saying all sorts. The craziest part, she even tried to link up with him romantically.
Anyways let me stop here. We’d continue this story another day, of There’s any need to”.
