The Yoruba film stars took to their individual Instagram stories on Monday to share wishes from fans and family members, who are aware of the news.
TheNewsGuru recalls that the duo had on several occasions denied reports that they are in a romantic relationship until pictures of their pre-wedding activities and invitation card recently circulated on social media platforms.
It is understood that the wedding ceremony would hold in Lagos on December 22.
“The families of Chief Prince Mrs Adeleke Oyebade and Alhaji & Alhaja Nurudeen Adedimeji cordially invites you to their children wedding ceremony. Oyebade Adebimpe Oluwafunbi and Adedimeji Adetola Abdullateef. Date: 22nd December 2021,” read the information on the wedding card.
Asked about her relationship with Lateef Adedimeji in an interview, Bimpe Oyebade said:”I wouldn’t deny the fact that we are close, he is my best friend it’s normal for people to assume a lot because we always act together people cast us together and even in my own project i usually cast him. I’m a filmmaker and a story maker, film making is my passion and he is good, so, you always find him in my production. I think it was the fan that came up with the story “you guys are good together, you guys are compatible and so on” But there is nothing between us we are just friends”.
Popular actor, Lateef Adedimeji has averred that he once prayed for a ‘waka pass’ role in the movie of iconic filmmaker, Tunde Kelani .He also stated that ‘Ayinla’, a biopic on Ayinla Omowura, late Apala singer, has placed him on a level beyond his expectations.
Adedimeji , who played the lead role in the movie, said he was surprised by the reception.
Adedimeji said he had always wanted to feature in a Tunde Kelani movie, even if it is a cameo appearance.
. “Ayinla set me on a mood way beyond my imagination. I have always prayed all my life that someday I’ll do a “waka pass” on a Tunde Kelani’s set, so it was shocking to me when I got the lead. Ayinla was away from my usual,” he said at a movie premiere.
“For me it was a shock when I saw the reception of Ayinla, and I saw the way people appreciated it. It was a shock that people can really appreciate our own culture and our own movie like this.
“What are we waiting for? If that can be done, then we all just need to wake up from our slumber and do some meaningful projects that will portray us well and then people can come and appreciate it.”
Adedimeji said playing the lead role in the biopic was “quite challenging” because he had never read or watched any video about the late Apala singer.
“I’m never a fan of Apala music, I don’t know who Ayinla is, until I got the script,” he said.
“So it was quite challenging for me. There was no video recording of him, no documentation of him at all, so every characterisation and mannerism was me building it up from stories about him. It was a very challenging task for me, and I really loved it.”
Ace actor and singer, Lateef Adedimeji unknown to many was born in Oshodi.
The multi-talented entertainer in a chat with TheNewsGuru said he feels good about his recent appearances in cinema movies.
“I feel good about it.It only shows that I need to work more on myself and I need to explore a whole lot more.It means people are seeing one’s work and they are trying to connect with you.It means I have to keep improving”.
Asked about the role he played in new movie, ‘Breaded life’ he said:”Its different from my normal role.This is Biodun Stephens bringing me to where I was born.I was born and raised in Oshodi and I left there a long time ago.This is her taking me back to that hood to say ‘You grew up in the streets, now you are back in the streets let us see what you can deliver’.It was fun for me, I had to go back to the streets, learnt a few slangs. While I was interpreting the role, I had recollections of events that happened growing up in Oshodi”.
Adedimeji who is known for his ability to be able to play different roles said he pays a lot of attention to events and people.
“I think the fact that I pay attention to everything I come across.I pay attention to everything that passes by me.No matter who you are or how terrible anybody is, I would make sure you do not go without me picking something from you”.

I am not tired of that actually because I know that I would still get lots of it.”
Asked what fame has robbed her of, she said: “Being an actress has robbed me of some of the things I used to do. Going out or going to the market and doing some things are no longer easy to do. A while ago, I went shopping and some of the sellers raised the prices of some goods because they said they liked my films and didn’t want to be to beat the price of the goods down. I eventually spent all the cash I took to the market.
“As an entertainer, I am different from what people see online. People don’t seem to know that ‘Bimpe Oyebade’ is actually different from ‘Mo Bimpe’. I could be in a place for 24 hours and nobody would know that I was around. As a brand ambassador, I don’t have a choice but to work. However, I don’t usually attend social gatherings because I don’t know how to keep up with people. A lot of people don’t understand this, so they feel I am proud or not happy for others but that’s not me. Maybe I would change in 2021 though.”
