Skit Creator Mummy Wa Opens Up About Sexual Harassment Experience in Nollywood

Nigerian skit creator and actress, Kemi Ikuseedun, widely recognized as Mummy Wa, has shared her ordeal with sexual harassment within the film industry. She disclosed her experiences during a recent appearance on the ‘WithChude podcast’ hosted by Chude Jideonwo.

Mummy Wa rose to prominence in 2023 after featuring in skits alongside Mr. Macaroni.

In her account, the actress revealed that she faced unwelcome sexual propositions from filmmakers while trying to build her career.

“Behind the scenes, a lot of people are asking for things. They are requesting for a whole lot of things that I cannot do.

“Where do I want to start from? Me that I’m already coming from a place where they tell me ‘this thing will not work’. How many people do I want to sleep with?

“To be honest, you might actually sleep with somebody in the industry and you will still not blow with the role they will give you. I saw a lot of men. But guess what? Even the slim ones that don’t have anything, they are still asking for things from them.

“No woman is free. No woman is immune. But I can’t do it.”
