I get scared ahead of a new movie release – Bimbo Ademoye

Nollywood actress and filmmaker, Bimbo Ademoye has candidly shared her feelings of anxiety as she gears up for the release of her next major film project.

In a heartfelt post on social media, the award-winning actress confessed that despite her confidence in the quality of the production, the weight of audience expectations always leaves her feeling nervous ahead of a new release.

Still, Bimbo expressed immense gratitude to her fans, affectionately calling them her “cyber family,” for their consistent love and support throughout her journey.

She wrote:

“Whenever I’m about to release a new movie. I ALWAYS feel scared, not because I don’t trust the cyber family God has blessed me with (I wouldn’t trade you all for anything in this world, by the way), Not Because I feel it’s a bad film, I just get nervous. I’m about to release another movie, and I feel my heart thumping through my chest. I had spoken to my aunt and my mom about it, and she said, “Everything you get involved in prospers, not because you’re better than anybody, but because, thus says the lord (ok, I’m tearing up).

“Every time I say I’m scared, I have people tell me, you have the best fanbase ever, so you’re covered. Yes, I’m about to drop a new movie, yes, I’m very nervous (this is the most nervous I’ve ever been, actually), yes, I know you guys got me. But this is me saying a very big thank you to God, and a very big thank you to you guys, for the deep love you’ve shown me. There’d be no me without you. Ever. God knew I needed you, and I may not know all of you. But know that I love you so much!

“Having Said that. Tomorrow, we begin our countdown. I’d not give a release date yet, but if you know me, you know I only count down when the release is closer. So yes, we’re getting a new movie in a couple of days. It stars the best actors in Nigeria, and when I tell you we made magic, I mean we made magic! Sets were built from scratch, hours and hours of filming, sun up to sun down, just for you, the best. Turn on your notifications, tell whoever that we have something coming! We have whipped it up in the kitchen, now it’s almost time to eat. Brace up. WE ARE COMING”.

Fellow actress Toyin Abraham also offered her support in the comments, writing, “You can’t be scared, Aisha. We have God, and I’ll always be here to hold your hand. I love you so much, baby.”
