She sometimes advertises brands like Classic organics, weightlossbyMma, Jenny’s Glow etc.
In 2019, Bimbo turned down a butt enlargement deal reason being that she does not endorse brands she does not use.
Speaking during an interview with Saturday Beats, she said,
“I have turned down tons . there have been some folks that wanted to sell butt enlargement cream. I turned it down. No disrespect to anybody, but it’s my belief that it doesn’t work. you can’t rub some ointment on your body and expect that part to only increase in size. that’s why I always turn down things like that.”
“I don’t endorse products I cannot use myself, for me to speak about it, meaning I even have used it. once you see me endorse a product, it means I even have used it and tested it.”

Due to the trend of hip and butt surgery by the female gender, Bimbo was accused of performing a surgery but the actress debunked the rumour saying that tiny waist and big butt runs in her family.
“I was born with a small waist; but I have been snatching my waist since I was my second year in the university”, she revealed.
You must have noticed the tattoo on the upper part of her body. Speaking about it, the curvy actress revealed that she did it just to cover the name of her ex boyfriend which she inked on her body.
In her words,
“I got the tattoo on my shoulder because I was trying to cover my ex-boyfriends name. I tattooed his name on my shoulder when I was not yet wise. The relationship didn’t work out, so I had to cover the tattoo with another one; hence, the reason why I have a feather tattooed on my shoulder. My father wanted to disown me and I don’t have another father so I had to cover it up with this new one. My daddy has been disturbing me about marriage. He is the only one disturbing me to get married at the moment”.
