Nollywood actress Adebimpe Oyebade, popularly known as Mo Bimpe, has threatened to take legal action over reports alleging paternity fraud involving one of her newborn triplets.
The controversy began after an X user, @iam_Mardiyyah, claimed that Mo Bimpe’s husband, actor Lateef Adedimeji, had filed for divorce following questions surrounding the paternity of one of their children. The post further alleged that the issue arose after a general hospital reportedly declined to accept Lateef’s blood donation for one of the babies.
The user wrote: “Popular Nigerian actor Lateef Adedimeji has filed for divorce from his wife after the Ilorin General Hospital rejected his blood donation for one of the triplets. The doctor claimed their blood groups do not match, and this triggered a paternity confirmation, which led the 40-year-old actor to carry out a DNA test on the children. The result shows that Lateef is not the biological father of the kids.”
Reacting to the allegation via her Instagram Story on Tuesday, Mo Bimpe dismissed the report as false and warned that she would take legal action against those responsible for spreading the claims online.
While warning the public not to beg her, she reshared the post and wrote: “I don’t want to hear justice for whatever your stupid name is by the time I am ready for you! You silly trolls have constantly trolled me on these platforms for years & I’ve been quiet, but what I wouldn’t take is you bringing your stupidity to my children!!! Be warned! I won’t hesitate to take the right action if need be.
“It’s the nerve to post fake/AI pictures together with fabricated lies for me! Such effrontery!” she wrote.
