Actress Bimbo Akintola has revealed why she never dated a male colleague in the industry despite their advances.

During an interview with Labista, she spoke about her decision to separate her personal and professional life.

Akintola disclosed that she never dated any actor throughout her career because she considered them as colleagues and “brothers” in the industry.

She also emphasised her commitment to maintaining a professional work environment.

“No, I never dated any actor at any point in my career; I don’t like you people. I’ve never been attracted to an actor so to speak. All of you are my brothers, straight. It’s not about the kind of men I’m attached to; I just wasn’t attracted to people in the workplace.

“My frame of mind when I come to work is the frame of work of an actor who wants to be professional, so I don’t see you as dateable people, all of you. I don’t see it. We have handsome actors but I’ve never thought of dating any one of them…honestly. It doesn’t mean they didn’t toast me though”, she said.

The actress also addressed past controversies, including false claims about her personal life.

She shared that sensationalised stories, such as claims about her wardrobe choices, were fabricated to generate attention.

“When I first started, there was a lot of controversy and all sorts of things written about me; horrible stuff. There was a part where people were saying I don’t wear underwear. I think it is that news like that flies and sells so you have more traction and more people on the blog and people buying the papers. People want to read about funny things like that, it’s even better now, back then they used to cook up stories, all sorts of stories”, she said.

In a surprising twist, Big Brother Naija reality star Chichi has set the internet ablaze after being spotted pole dancing at a nightclub.

The viral video, which surfaced online, shows the former housemate effortlessly climbing and twirling on the pole, a move that has reignited conversations about her journey and choices post-BBN.

Chichi’s return to exotic dance comes as a shock to many, as it contrasts her earlier declaration in March 2024 to retire from the profession.

Following her stint in the Big Brother Naija house, the reality star had publicly vowed to leave pole dancing behind, reflecting on her past as a stripper and her rise to fame.

The latest video, however, proves that Chichi may not have entirely closed that chapter of her life, leaving fans intrigued and divided over her bold and unapologetic move.
