I won’t sleep with any man to get roles, stay famous —Mummy Wa

Published by

Popular social media sensation and skit maker, Kemz Mama, better known as Mummy Wa, has shared her personal experiences with s3xual harassment in the Nigerian movie industry, sparking a crucial conversation about the prevalence of abuse and exploitation in the entertainment sector.

In an exclusive interview with Chudeity monitored by R, Mummy Wa revealed that her decision to pursue a career in the entertainment industry was met with strong disapproval from her parents.

“My dad thought I was wasting my time, and that it wouldn’t add value to my life,” she recounted, her voice filled with determination. “But I knew what I wanted, and I was willing to fight for it.”

Despite the initial opposition, Mummy Wa persevered, only to face another daunting challenge: s3xual harassment.

“S3xual harassment is real in the movie industry, but how many people do you want to sleep with? For me, I came into the industry on the backdrop of my parents saying I had no business there. So why would I want to sleep with you to get roles? Some desperate girls will fall for it but I am not desperate and I won’t do it”, she said.

“Some producers tried to lure me with s3x for roles,” she disclosed, her expression a mix of frustration and resolve.

“Many ladies are being abused because they want to get into the movie industry by all means. Unfortunately, many people take advantage of them.”

Mummy Wa emphasised that no woman is immune to s3xual harassment in the entertainment industry.

“It’s a reality we must acknowledge and address,” she stressed. “We need to create a safe and supportive environment where women can thrive without fear of exploitation.”

The skit maker’s journey to success was not without setbacks. She appeared on popular TV series, Tinsel, but her character was abruptly killed off by the producer.

“It was disappointing, but I didn’t let it discourage me,” she reflected.

She also faced disappointment after collaborating with Mr. Macaroni on a skit, only to not receive a callback.

However, her breakthrough came with the viral success of her character, Mummy Wa, which earned her multiple endorsements and cemented her position as a social media sensation.

“It’s been an incredible journey,” she exclaimed. “I’m grateful for the opportunities I’ve had, and I’m determined to make the most of them.”

This year, Mummy Wa took her career to the next level by producing her own movie, My Sunshine, marking a significant milestone in her journey.

“It’s a dream come true,” she beamed. “I’m proud of what I’ve achieved, and I’m excited for what’s next.”
