Rather than ignore the noise, Bidemi Kosoko took to her Instagram page on November 11, 2026, with a series of videos showing off her birth certificate as direct evidence of her age.
Beyond flashing the document, the actress expressed deep frustration over the insults and public dragging she had endured since her birthday.
She questioned why turning 40 had become such a contentious issue, particularly calling out those who had been comparing her age to that of her elder sister, Sola Kosoko.
According to Bidemi Kosoko, Sola is currently 46 and is set to turn 47 in January.
She also clarified that Sola Kosoko is not her immediate sister, pointing out that three siblings separate them.
