Nollywood icon, Idowu Phillips, affectionately known as Mama Rainbow or Iya Rainbow, is eagerly anticipating her upcoming 81st birthday. In a photo shared ahead of her birthday, she playfully declared that she’s not turning 81 but rather 18 years old.
With gratitude to her creator, she thanked God, reflecting on how it felt like just yesterday when she was born. Her message read:
“HAPPY BIRTHDAY IN ADVANCE TO ME. I will be 18YR NOT 81 YEARS. 16/10/1942 just like yesterday THANK YOU FATHER.”
Her fans enthusiastically joined in on the lighthearted celebration, agreeing that she truly appeared to be in her 18s. Many left comments expressing their well wishes and amazement at her youthful appearance.
Mama Rainbow made a similar joke last year when she referred to her 80th birthday as turning 21, sparking a delightful reaction from her online followers.
After her birthday last year, she expressed gratitude to music sensation Davido for his birthday gift, although she kept the details of the present a secret. She posted a video of herself dancing to Pheelz and Davido’s song “Electricity” as a way of showing appreciation to the award-winning artist.
