In a candid revelation shared during an interactive session on Pulse Nigeria’s official YouTube channel, Iyabo recalled a personal conversation with the veteran actress.
According to her, Bimbo Akintola once asked if she was a virgin and cautioned her against chasing men. Iyabo recounted, “Bimbo Akintola asked me if I was a virgin, and she warned me not to chase after men.
