Behind the Character, There’s a Real Me People Forget – Mummy Wa

Actress and content creator, Kemi Ikuseedun, popularly known as Mummy Wa, has shared some of the challenges that come with life in the public eye.

In an interview with Saturday Beats, the actress explained that fame often strips entertainers of their privacy, particularly when people blur the lines between the real person and the characters they portray.

“Being in the public eye means people have their own perceptions of one, sometimes from the roles one plays. As Mummy Wa, I’m a wife and mother on screen, and people often forget there’s a real person behind that character. Relationships require privacy, but being in entertainment means your personal life is always under some form of scrutiny. It takes maturity, understanding, and a partner who can separate Kemz Mama from the character and respect both sides,” she said.

Asked if comedy skits always need to carry deep or intellectual messages, Ikuseedun noted that sometimes, humour should simply provide relief. “Not every skit needs to carry a heavy message. Sometimes people just want to laugh and forget their problems. But, I believe comedy can still reflect life in a powerful way. My own content mixes both: there’s humour, but if you look closely, you’ll see everyday struggles of marriage, family, love, and society. So while not every skit should be an essay, it’s great when people can laugh and still say, ‘Wow, that’s so true.’”

On staying relevant in the fast-changing social media space, the actress stressed the importance of authenticity. “The biggest challenge is balance. Social media moves fast, trends come and go daily, so it’s easy to feel pressured to jump on everything. But for me, the key is staying authentic. People connect to content that feels true, not just trendy. Another challenge is avoiding burnout, because creating consistently at a high level takes a lot of energy, creativity, and discipline. You have to keep reinventing yourself without losing your original voice.”
