Similoluwa, the beautiful daughter of Nollywood actress Laide Bakare, has sparked widespread reactions online after marking her 17th birthday in grand style. The milestone celebration quickly became a trending topic, not only for the glamour of the party but also for the conversations surrounding her strikingly mature looks.
Laide Bakare, who has never hidden her admiration for her children, had earlier taken to social media to announce her daughter’s birthday. She expressed her amazement at how fast Simi had grown, humorously noting how her height now intimidates her.
“Yes, she is Taller than me 🙈😃 @simlineboss is such ‘A beaut’ Ajeh! 💃❤️💋 On Sunday we party hard 💃,” the proud mother wrote, teasing the upcoming event with joy and excitement.
True to her word, Laide hosted a star-studded birthday bash at the prestigious Oriental Hotel in Lagos on Sunday, September 7. The lavish party was attended by industry colleagues including Biola Bayo, Ayo Olaiya, and other Nollywood stars who came out to celebrate with the family.
Clips from the event flooded social media, showing Simi dancing and enjoying herself as her friends cheered her on. However, what caught many people’s attention was not just the glitz of the occasion but her physical appearance. Several users commented that she looked far older than her age, sparking debates online about how quickly children of the current generation appear to mature compared to those before them.
