He claims that when he proposed to her, she didn't take him seriously. Lateef Adedimeji disclosed that Mo Bimpe was reluctant because of the religious barrier.
“I called her and told her I wanted to ask her something, then I told her I wanted to marry her. She was just joking, like, ‘What is doing this one? Get out! I can’t marry a Muslim; are you okay? My daddy won’t even hear that.”
The actor then arranged to meet her father and asked for her hand in marriage, and eventually, he agreed. He continued:
“Then I told her that we’d go see her dad, and I’d speak to him and calm him down. So we went to her village during one of their masquerade festivals, and towards the end, I asked to see her dad. I promised him that I’d take care of his daughter, and he said he’d pray and get back to me, and that was it.
“The proposal wasn’t planned because we just dated for like two, three months and then we got married.”
