Nollywood actress Adunni Ade has addressed circulating rumours about her age, firmly stating that she is neither turning 50 nor anywhere close to it.
The clarification followed a direct message she received on Instagram from a cinematographer identified as Virtue, who offered to cover her alleged 50th birthday celebration for free next year. In the message, Virtue introduced himself and expressed interest in filming what he believed would be a milestone birthday event.
Reacting publicly, Adunni Ade treated the situation with humour, expressing amusement at how much attention her age continues to attract. She jokingly criticised Nigerians for what she described as an obsession with guessing her age.
The actress stressed that she is not 48 or 49, reiterating that the assumptions being circulated online are incorrect.
While laughing off the misunderstanding, Adunni Ade also offered advice to the cinematographer, encouraging him to focus on improving his craft and visibility. She added that she might consider working with him in the future, possibly at one of her events.
Her light-hearted response has since sparked reactions online, with fans applauding her confidence and sense of humour while weighing in on the broader conversation around age scrutiny in the entertainment industry.
Adunni Ade has previously spoken out against false reports and misinformation, consistently urging the public and media platforms to verify details before circulating claims.
