Early Life & Education<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Kemi Adetiba was born on January 8, 1980, to Dele Adetiba<\/strong>, an Ekiti father, and Mayen Adetiba<\/strong>, an Efik mother. Kemi hails from a family with a long history of successful parents in many fields. Her father, Dele Adetiba, was a legendary sports broadcaster in Nigeria and a veteran of advertising on television stations. Mayeni Adetiba, her mother, is an engineer and actor who also happens to be the first female civil engineer<\/strong> elected to the Nigerian Society of Engineers’ Executive Committee<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She graduated from Atlantic Hall High School<\/strong> and earned a law degree from the University of Lagos<\/strong>, and she was later called to the Nigerian Bar<\/strong>. Kemi, on the other hand, had a different professional path in mind when she decided to enter the media industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Career<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

She began her career as a radio host for Rhythm 93.7 FM<\/strong>, where she became the host of two nationally syndicated smash shows, Soul’d Out<\/strong> and Sunday at the Seaside<\/strong>. Under the handle and tag ‘hule<\/strong>,’ Kemi began secretly releasing personal remixes online on various platforms such as Spotify<\/strong> and Soundcloud<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kemi Adetiba gradually transitioned from being a radio voice to being a television host by creating and hosting various Mnet series, including Studio 53 and Temptation Nigeria, which she co-hosted with Ikponmwosa Osakioduwa<\/strong>. Kemi also presented all three seasons of Maltina Dance<\/strong> and was a presenter on Soundcity TV<\/strong>. She then decided to step it up a notch and enrolled at the New York Film Academy<\/strong> to study visual production, which represented a significant change for Kemi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Across a Bloodied Ocean, her short film was screened at the Pan African Film Festival<\/strong> and the National Black Arts Festival<\/strong> in 2009. The Wedding Party<\/strong>, Kemi Adetiba’s first feature film as a filmmaker, premiered as the opening film of the City-to-City Showcase at the Toronto International Film Festival<\/strong> (TIFF) on September 8, 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was also shown for the first time on November 26, 2016, at the Eko Hotel & Suites in Lagos. The film rapidly went viral and went on to become Nigeria’s highest-earning film, grossing a remarkable #453,000,000. The sequel, “The Wedding Party 2<\/strong>,” shattered the record in 2017. In 2017, Kemi debuted her interview-based series “King Woman,” which features Nigeria’s most influential women of all time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kemi Adetiba interviewed her mother, Mayen Adetiba<\/strong>, Chigul<\/strong>, Taiwo Ajai-Lycett<\/strong>, Jumoke Adenowo<\/strong>, Adesua Onyenokwe<\/strong>, TY Bello<\/a>, and Tara Durotoye <\/strong>for the show King Women. The following year, <\/strong>Adetiba’s most famous piece of art, “King of Boys<\/strong>,” was published, starring veteran actress Sola Sobowale<\/a> in the lead role. The film is about a power struggle, and it stars rappers Illbliss<\/strong> and Reminisce<\/strong> in their feature film debuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kemi Adetiba produced, wrote, and directed King of Boys<\/strong>. It was ranked as one of the top ten films of 2018, grossing N245 million naira. The award-winning director crowned her classic picture with a seven-part Netflix series titled ‘The Return of the King,’ which serves as a sequel.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
