Anikulapo Bimbo Ademoye: Actress Responds To Critics Over Her Controversial Role

Nollywood actress, Bimbo Ademoye, has responded to critics following her controversial role in the latest Kunle Afolayan’s movie ‘Anikulapo’.

Ngnews247.com earlier reported that the movie tells the story of Saro, (played by Kunle Remi) a travelling clothes weaver, who was beaten to death for having an affair with the Alaafin’s youngest wife named Arolake (Bimbo Ademoye)

A mystical bird brings him back to life, leaving behind a gourd with the power to raise the dead.

Bimbo was applauded for her amazing role interpretation in the movie, however, some people faulted her for allowing herself to become a victim instead of using the magical power she gave to Remi who later betrayed her.

Reacting to the criticisms, Bimbo in a post shared on Instagram said she is aware of some of the controversies and reactions her role has generated online.

She further questioned her fans on who is the victim between Saro and Arolake.

She wrote: “Guys , quick question . Who is the victim SARO or AROLAKE? Because I’m seeing some tweets. Saying fear women . Fear women howwwwww. So Over to you guys. If you feel Arolake is the bad guy pls comment “fear women “ If you think it is saro . Pls comment men are scum.”
