Popular actress and content creator, Kemi Ikuseedun well known as Mummy Wa, has described the character as the biggest turning point of her career.
Kemi while speaking in an interview said she did not expect the role to resonate so widely. “I did not know that it was going to resonate with a lot of people but I’m indeed grateful that it did. I’m just so happy that Mummy Wa is a character that’s loved by everybody and also Daddy Wa’s character.”
She explained that preparing for the role requires emotional depth and personal reflection. “I think of my mom, I just imagine my mom, me being in my mom, and everything.”
Looking back on her rise in the entertainment industry, Kemi said the character defined her public identity. “I’d say becoming Mummy Wa because that is what people know me for, and entering into other things. I’m trying to build on other things but definitely, being Mummy Wa is my biggest turning point.”Entertainment center
Kemi also admitted that playing a married woman has influenced her views on relationships. “To be honest, yes it has. It has made me see marriage from a different perspective. To be honest, sometimes it makes me feel like marriage is one scary institution; the fact that my character is always chasing the other character makes me feel like, ‘eh God, I don’t want to be chasing my future husband like this.’ I pray my future husband has only eyes for me and me alone.”
Beyond acting, she revealed plans to expand her brand. “Yes, I’m launching my WA park and storybook line ‘Tales of Mummy WA’s Garden.’ So yes, I look forward to it. And I have my own initiatives as well, my emergency kit so that is also there.”
Kemi rose to fame through comedy skits with Mr Macaroni and has since branched into film and other creative ventures.
