From her senior male colleagues to the junior ones, Kemz experienced sexual harassment in the early days of her career. Everyone wanted to sleep with her literally. She revealed this during an interview, “WithChude Podcast” hosted by media personality, Chude Jideonwo.

She revealed that a lot of film producers made advances at her when she was new in the industry.

She however turned down their advances focusing on her craft. Her reasons aren’t far fetched, she doesn’t want to be passed around.

This made her experience slow career growth and her acting career seemed impossible.

Kemz eventually came to spotlight after she featured on Mr Macaroni’ skit for the first time in 2023.

“Behind the scenes, a lot of people 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?” she said.

Kemz Mama added that there are instances upcomers in the entertainment industry sleep with many bosses and the former gets not too relevant roles.

“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”, she said.

Due to these Kemz Mama’ career seemed impossible at the beginning until her big break in 2023.

She recently released her movie, “My Sunshine”, the Nigerian Korean movie. The movie has received massive acceptance from movie lovers.
