Bimbo claimed that the lack of substance in the industry is due to the affluent women who star in films despite having no official training. She stated: “It is lack of training (that makes actors not flexible in interpreting their roles). There are some people in the industry who do not go for training. There are some ladies, who shot movies just because they had money. They would go behind closed doors to do the movie without prior training. Once they have money, they produce films, even without knowing the job.” Share this story

Men are sc** – Simi tackles opposite gender over hubby, AG Baby’s unromantic gesture towards her

Image
 Afrobeats musician Simi Kosoko, better known as Simi, is well-known and well-respected. Simi has mocked males after her husband Adekunle Gold made a disrespectful gesture in her direction. Simi explained how, ever since becoming a mother, she has changed from a shopper to a builder, purchasing things that nobody asked her to buy and then putting them together. This amusing video was uploaded by the mother of one to her authenticated TikTok account. However, she stated that this time, her husband, Adekunle Gold nicknamed AG Baby, purchased the stand and instructed her to install it, and as a result, Simi vented while putting the rack together. Humorously fuming she avowed that  ‘Men Are Scum’. The video captured the moment Adekunle Gold also walked in on her erecting the stand but he only encouraged her and didn’t help or join her in the process. This pissed Simi off making her boldly reiterate her statement about men being scum. “ I repeat, Men are Scum,”  she said. Share this story
