In a recent interview with Pulse, KieKie shared insights into her early life in Ibadan, where she actively participated in church activities and led the praise team for two years.
According to KieKie, her passion for drumming and worship music runs deep, and had life taken a different turn, she would have pursued a career in gospel music full-time. “Drumming is one of the most exciting things I love to do,” she said. “If I wasn’t doing this work I’m doing now, I would have definitely become a gospel artist.”
The actress revealed that her love for music began in her childhood, particularly during her time in Ibadan. “I was the lead of the praise team in my church for about two years before I moved to Lagos and started getting more involved in the entertainment industry,” KieKie recalled. This period marked the beginning of her journey into the entertainment world, which eventually led her to comedy, fashion, and media.
