Nollywood actress Kemisola Apesin, popularly known as Kemity, has firmly denied allegations that she exchanged sexual favours for movie roles in the Yoruba film industry.

In a recent statement shared on social media, the actress addressed circulating rumours head-on, emphasizing that her success comes from hard work, talent, and integrity rather than any form of compromise.

“I have never used my body to collect a movie role. I have never slept with anyone to get featured in any film. I have never exchanged sex for opportunity,” Kemity declared. She stressed, “My name is clean – Ariyo Oluwakemisola Apesin. No one and I mean no one can ever come out boldly to say I used my body to collect anything from him.”

Reflecting on her journey, Kemity revealed she entered the industry with prior businesses, including two wine shops, and even took on crew roles early on to manage costs during productions. “Before I even met my boss, I already had two wine shops where I was selling wine,” she noted, adding that her rise has been built on consistency and self-reliance rather than shortcuts.

The denial comes amidst ongoing discussions in Nollywood about the so-called “sex-for-roles” culture, with several actors and actresses speaking out on the issue in recent times.

Kemity’s bold response has garnered reactions across social media, with supporters praising her for defending her reputation and highlighting the importance of merit in the entertainment industry.

The actress, known for her roles in Yoruba films, continues to build her career through dedication to her craft.
