The actress emphasised the need for fans to understand the effort and cost that go into creating content.

"I spent millions to shoot eight episodes of 'Sibe', and after it finished showing, people were asking for more episodes. I had to tell them to relax and let me recoup my money first," she told Punch.

According to the actress, 2023 was "a really beautiful year" for her.

Bimbo insisted she had no trouble seeing the connections between performing and influencing brands. She acknowledges feeling blessed to be able to identify and follow relevant trends.

Furthermore, Ademoye describes brand influence as a "money-making machine" that she finds enjoyable.

Influencing is a money-making machine, and it is fun. I get paid to do what I love, so it has been quite easy for me to handle both," she said.
