Jide Awobona's Star Lomo Premiere Greeting Sparks Controversy

At the Star Lomo premiere held on September 20, actor Jide Awobona drew attention for his behavior towards actress Mo Bimpe, who was accompanied by her husband, Lateef Adedimeji. Upon their arrival, Awobona greeted them but interacted briefly with Bimpe while engaging in a longer conversation with Lateef.

He explained to Lateef that he wanted to avoid trending for a week, to which Lateef responded with laughter. This incident followed a previous viral video from Folagade Banks' movie premiere, where Awobona and Bimpe were seen chatting closely, leading to public speculation about Lateef's comfort level with their interaction.

In response to the backlash, Mo Bimpe defended their relationship, asserting that it is not based on insecurity or constant surveillance, and emphasized that her husband is secure and unthreatened by her friendship with Awobona.
