Bakare during a recent interview with content creator Mr Lil Gaga, revealed that she took the teenager to a club for the first time after her birthday and allowed her to taste alcohol.
She said: “I took my daughter to the club for the first time at 17. And I like the fact that in her memoir, she would reference me as the person who introduced her to alcohol and clubbing.”
However, after the interview surfaced on social media, it elicited mixed reactions as many Nigerians accused the actress of promoting irresponsible parenting.
