She became famous in 2018 after appearing in Mr Macaroni’s comedic routine as ‘Mummy Wa,’ Mr Macaroni’s imaginary wife. During an interview with Olajide Samuel, a Punch newspaper correspondent, Kemz Mama described how the name ‘Mummy Wa’ came to be. Here’s what she had to say:
What inspired the character ‘Mummy Wa’ to be created?
The character ‘Mummy Wa’ was invented by Dabo Adebayo, alias Mr Macaroni. He saw me acting in one of my skits one day and invited me to appear in his performance the next day. He invited me to play his wife, and I gladly accepted. That’s how the character came into being.”
Her boss, Debo Adedayo (Mr Macaroni), influenced her success story immensely by bringing her out of a certain time of life and giving her a character that completely changed her tale. She is one of the beautiful female artists that has a bright future ahead of her.
