“My father broke my heart, and the mean words still hurt me till this day” — Mummy Wa
Kemz Mama, or Mummy Wa as many know her, may be buzzing because of her first movie - Nigeria’s first Korean drama - but her journey here was an almost impossible one.
First, her father didn’t support her, calling her career ‘irrelevant irrelevancies’. Then Mr Macaroni didn’t call her back after her first appearance as ‘Mummy Wa’ on his channel. THEN, when she finally got a small role on Tinsel, her character was killed off, without the producers even informing her!
In between all of this, she was robbed violently of the phone she was using to create content on YouTube - after entering a one-chance bus. And then she struggled to get roles because on the one hand she was being sexually harassed and on the other hand she was insecure about the size of her breasts.
Then one day, everything changed. Mr Macaroni called her back, her role became constant, her social media pages grew into the millions, and this year she produced her first movie.
She tells me the full story.
Also, for the first time ever, she speaks about the viral issue on the blogs about a past relationship, and why she has refused to talk about it until now.
This was a hilarious interview through and through - but it was also incredibly inspiring.
You will fall in love with this young woman.
