Nollywood actress and filmmaker Adebimpe Oyebade, popularly known as Mo Bimpe, has become the center of online discussion after a video captured her emotional reaction to her triplets' first haircut. The clip, which recently surfaced on social media, shows a man believed to be her husband, actor Lateef Adedimeji, leaning over her as she lies on a couch holding one of the babies. As he prepares to cut the infant's hair, the actress appears visibly reluctant.
Mo Bimpe's Emotional Plea
