Bimbo Ademoye Slams Critics Claiming She Uses Tears To Market Her Films

Award-winning actress and producer Bimbo Ademoye has fired back at critics who accused her of using emotional displays as a marketing gimmick to drive views to her YouTube movie releases.

The backlash began after an X user, identified as Damola, criticised the actress for posting a video with “puffy red eyes” on the day of her new film’s release, calling it a “tired script” meant to solicit public sympathy and engagement.

Reacting during a recent live session, a visibly frustrated Ademoye dismissed the claims, stating that her success is built on gruelling hard work, significant financial investment, and the dedication of a professional team, not “pity parties.”

“Am I supposed to be battling people over stealing my film title and thumbnail? I organise proper photoshoots. I still pay for thumbnails and posters, only for someone to steal my hard work,” she stated. “Then someone says this is a strategy. What bloody strategy? Do you think the way I would promote my film is to cry?”

Ademoye further revealed that she frequently faces production hurdles, including copyright infringement and technical restrictions imposed by Google, which she usually handles privately. She noted that she was supposed to produce six movies last year but managed only four due to internal challenges she never shared on social media.

“I am a very strong woman; I don’t need pity,” she asserted. “I do all of this to give my best, so do you think I would use tears to water down everything I’ve been through? Be careful.”
