Love was truly in the air at the 2026 Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA), and it wasn’t just on the silver screen! Nollywood superstar Lateef Adedimeji took home the award for Best Indigenous Language Film (West Africa) for his historical epic, Lisabi: A Legend Is Born, but it was his acceptance speech that stole the hearts of millions.
The Dedication That Melted Hearts
Standing on the AMVCA stage on Saturday night, an emotional Lateef didn’t just thank his crew; he turned his attention to his wife, actress Adebimpe Oyebade (Mo Bimpe).
Referring to her as the woman who “just gave him his kings”—a nod to the couple’s recently welcomed triplets—Lateef dedicated the prestigious honor entirely to her. He praised her unwavering support during the grueling production of Lisabi, calling her the backbone of his success.
Mo Bimpe’s Emotional Response
The reaction from Mo Bimpe was almost instantaneous. Taking to her Instagram page to share a clip of the moment, the actress confessed that the public display of affection and honor left her overwhelmed.
“I still have goosebumps,” she shared with her followers. “The public honor, the kind words… I am beyond proud of you, my king.”
She reaffirmed her love for her husband, noting that his hard work and sacrifices for the Lisabi project made the win well-deserved. The couple has been trending across social media, with fans dubbing them the “Nollywood Power Couple of the Year” for balancing a massive career milestone with the joy of their new arrivals.
