There have been several backlashes against Yoruba actress Laide Bakare over her relationship with colleague Odobodobo Motolani. The actress has responded to ill comments and views on the topic.
Previously, she shared romantic photos of herself and fellow actor Motolani on her social media platform, both in matching traditional outfits, and disclosed that their friendship was built on trust, laughter, respect, and a deep understanding.
She added that, despite public disapproval, they chose to listen to their hearts.
Some of her fans were unhappy with the photos, with many making disapproving comments about the relationship. Bakare simply told them to let love lead.
“Some commentators on this app sha! haaa! Can we let love lead? What if you are wrong and I’m right? Hen ? What if? THANK YOU SO MUCH @amooke_alasoke for making me love this Blue exceptionally”. Her post read.
Last year, during the Christmas period, she shared photos of herself and the actor in matching pyjamas, posting the famous quote Love conquers all.
Bakare has two failed marriages. Her first was with American-based business tycoon, Olumide Okufulure, with whom she shares a daughter. Her second was with Alhaji Mutairu Atanda Orilowo in 2012, with whom she shares two sons.
