Nollywood film critic and radio broadcaster Tolu Fagbure has opened up about a frustrating encounter with actress Mo Bimpe, now known as Adebimpe Oyebade Adedimeji, during the early stages of a film project in 2018.
According to Fagbure, someone recommended Bimpe for a role on the project, and he wasted no time reaching out to her and forwarding the script. However, three days passed without any response from the actress.

Mo Bimpe's script request
When Fagbure eventually followed up, Bimpe explained she had been on a film location. He reached out a second time, only to be met with another response that left him even more unsettled. Bimpe reportedly told him she was still occupied and asked him to verbally summarise the story to her rather than reading the material he had already sent.

In his words:
"I believe she must have better sense now that she is Adebimpe Oyebade Adedimeji. I make bold to say it; I sent her a script. In 2018, I had a film, and someone recommended her to me, so I reached out and engaged her. I said, first of all, let me send you the script, which I did, and I didn't get a response from her for three days. When I reached out to her, she said she was sorry, was on a movie location, and that I needed to lock down the script. I reached out again; she said she was busy on a movie location, asked what the story was about, and told me to narrate it to her. That was unprofessional of her. I asked if she didn't hear my name and I wasn't one of their tacky film practitioners," he said.
