Mummy Wa Claims Many Female Entertainers Are Prostitutes

On 12 September 2026, Kemi Ikuseedun, popularly known as Mummy Wa, stirred controversy by asserting that a significant number of women in Nigeria's entertainment industry are involved in prostitution. During a conversation, she questioned how some female entertainers maintain lavish lifestyles without visible businesses or established income sources.

Mummy Wa argued that financial support from wealthy men should not be automatically seen as prostitution, but insisted that claims of alternative income must be substantiated with tangible evidence. She stated, “A lot of women in the entertainment industry are prostitutes.

What’s their source of income?” Mummy Wa, a content creator, highlighted the misconception that going viral guarantees financial success, urging entertainers to demonstrate their investments. Additionally, she reflected on the challenges faced by curvy women in the industry, noting the unwanted attention and exploitation they encounter, while acknowledging that both men and women can exploit others.
