Nigerian actress and TikToker, Salman Olamide, popularly known as Kidbaby, has revealed that she worked in a bar in 2022 to raise money for her Higher National Diploma programme.\n<\/p>\n
She disclosed this during an appearance on Barricades Live with Adewunmi, a podcast hosted by fellow TikToker Wunmi Star, on Thursday.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cBack in 2022, I was struggling to raise money for my HND programme, so I worked in a bar to finance my education,\u201d she said.\n<\/p>\n
Kidbaby also recounted how her family\u2019s fortunes changed after her father was involved in a serious accident in 2010.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was born into a very educated and Islamic household. Growing up was not very easy for me because we lost a lot when my dad was involved in a serious accident back in 2010. At that point, everything changed,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
She explained that her family had been financially comfortable before the accident.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cWe used to be rich and comfortable. At least, I attended a \u2018big school,\u2019 and everything was fine. But all of a sudden, my dad got involved in that accident, and everything changed. It was a very difficult time for us,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
The actress also spoke about her strained relationship with her grandmother, saying disagreements over language and eating habits contributed to her childhood misconceptions about the older woman. <\/p>\n
\u201cBefore now, I didn\u2019t like my grandma. I used to think she was a witch because she didn\u2019t like us speaking English instead of Yoruba,\u201d she said.\n<\/p>\n
She added, \u201cAlso, I preferred eating with cutlery, which she didn\u2019t approve of. Because of these differences, we used to think she was a witch.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
Speaking about her career, Kidbaby described content creation, storytelling, filmmaking and fashion as natural outlets for her creativity.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cThe online industry is lucrative and fun. Content creation, storytelling, filmmaking, and other creative activities come easily to me because they are already a part of who I am,\u201d she said.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cActing is a part of me, and I get inspiration naturally, just as the Holy Spirit ministers to people,\u201d she added.\n<\/p>\n
Kidbaby also shared her perspective on identity, saying she identified more with the place where she grew up than her father\u2019s ancestral hometown.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t believe in the philosophy of claiming a place as your origin simply because that is where your father comes from. For me, I will always identify with the place where I grew up, and that place is Ijebu-Ode,\u201d she said.\n <\/p>\n
