Nollywood legend Richard Mofe-Damijo, popularly known as RMD, has long been a mentor and role model to many younger actors, often collaborating with them on various projects. As one of Nigeria’s most celebrated actors, his influence in the industry remains significant.
One of the actors RMD has taken under his wing is Timini Egbuson, who has often referred to him as an industry father figure. Timini’s latest film, Reel Love, is currently showing in cinemas across Nigeria.
In a heartfelt post celebrating Timini, RMD not only praised the rising star but also took a moment to acknowledge another talented young actress, Bimbo Ademoye, who also stars in the movie. In a playful twist, he revealed that he has a crush on Bimbo and jokingly suggested that he might have to challenge Timini for her affection.
The fun didn’t stop there, as Bimbo Ademoye herself saw the post and couldn’t resist responding. Here’s what RMD had to say and how Bimbo reacted to his lighthearted confession.
Taking to social media to celebrate Timini’s new movie and reveal his crush on Bimbo Ademoye, actor Richard Mofe-Damijo said:
RMD: This is Timini …
An actor,
My son, in whom I am well pleased.
Probably the hardest-working and most uber-talented young actor in Africa today.
He just did over 90M at the box office for his film’s opening weekend, and counting!
But while he’s out here making history, he’s also caught up in Real love or Reel Love, so he claims. With @bimboademoye an actress and a comic no less. (One I might just be crushing on myself, but that’s a story for another day… @_timini and I may have to duel for her the old way some day soon)
Reel Love is still showing in cinemas nationwide. Go show him more love at the cinemas!
Reacting to what RMD said about her, Bimbo Ademoye swiftly responded to RMD’s post saying:
BIMBO ADEMOYE: Shebi you people saw my name there abi. If I greet anyone again makeni bend !! I need security! I need mopol, the icon the legend ,the king THE RMD knows who i am.
