Nollywood actress Bidemi Kosoko has hit back at social media users questioning her age, sharing her birth certificate to establish that she recently turned 40.
The actress, who is the daughter of veteran actor Jide Kosoko, faced criticism after reports emerged last week that she had celebrated her 40th birthday. Some social media users expressed disbelief over her age, with others accusing her of giving a false account of how old she was.
Reacting to the controversy, Bidemi posted a series of videos on social media in which she displayed her birth certificate as proof of her date of birth. She also condemned the insults and unpleasant remarks she had received from critics.
The actress questioned why her age had become a subject of public discussion, particularly after some users compared her with her elder sister, Sola Kosoko, who is 47 and is expected to celebrate another birthday in January.
Bidemi explained that Sola was not her immediate elder sister, revealing that three other siblings came between them.
Her birth certificate showed that she was born in 1986, backing her position that she is 40 years old.
In a message accompanying her response, the actress maintained that she would not address the issue any further despite the continued criticism.
