A Father's Promise and a Daughter's Tears
In a moving TikTok video posted on her social media, Bimbo Ademoye appeared visibly emotional while singing as her elderly father served as her backup dancer. The actress couldn't hold back tears of joy and pride as she announced her father's acting debut in her unreleased film M.A.F.H.
The movie star revealed the extraordinary incentive she offered to convince her father to appear in her project: a staggering N30 billion promise. Describing her father as her "heart and soul," the AMVCA-winning actress expressed how deeply touched she was that her dad became an actor for her sake.

Bimbo playfully warned other actors in her caption, writing: "My heart and soul became an actor for me! You guys, please tell my on-screen papa to watch his back. There's a new sheriff in town. Dada did amazingly well in M.A.F.H., and he's excited for you to see him in action."
More Than Just a Movie Debut
The actress announced that the official release date and full title of the movie would be revealed the following day, inviting fans to guess the title with the winner receiving a hug. This heartwarming family moment comes after recent reports about Bimbo Ademoye's personal life, including her relationship with media personality VJ Adams and her revelation about a former friend's betrayal.
In earlier posts, the "Sugar Rush" star had detailed how a once-trusted friend, who also aspired to become an actress, turned competitive and attempted to sabotage her career and romantic relationship despite Bimbo's generous support.
The father's debut also follows another touching moment involving Bimbo's colleague, IK Ogbonna, who recently shared a heartfelt note and video showing him carrying the actress to shelter during an event while carefully ensuring her modesty was protected.
As the Nollywood community and fans celebrate this beautiful father-daughter collaboration, all eyes are on the upcoming announcement of Bimbo Ademoye's new movie M.A.F.H., which now carries the special significance of featuring her father's first acting performance.
