A recent video of popular Nollywood actress Bimbo Ademoye disguising herself to shop at a busy Lagos market has gone viral on social media, sparking reactions from fans and followers.
The talented movie star shared several clips on her Instagram stories, revealing how she cleverly masked her identity to blend in seamlessly with the crowd. In the video, she is seen navigating the bustling market while interacting with traders and bargaining for items like any regular shopper.
To avoid the usual attention that comes with being a celebrity, Bimbo Ademoye wore a full-length one-piece abaya with an attached head covering, complemented by a black face mask. Her outfit completely concealed her identity, making it difficult for fans or traders to recognize her.
The disguise allowed her to move freely, enjoy the shopping experience, and negotiate prices without the fear of being overcharged or mobbed by excited admirers. The actress was evidently thrilled by the experience, describing it as a refreshing and fun-filled adventure.
In one of the captions attached to the video, Bimbo Ademoye expressed excitement over her adventure, hinting that she might do it again in the future. She described the experience as enjoyable and noted that it provided her with a sense of normalcy despite her celebrity status.
She wrote: “The only way I could enter the market! I had so much fun! Definitely would do this again!”
Since the video surfaced online, it has continued to generate widespread reactions, with many people discussing the realities of fame and how it affects a celebrity’s ability to carry out everyday activities. Others found the actress’ approach both amusing and smart, while some debated the practicality of her disguise in the Lagos heat.
