Nollywood actress Kemisola Apesin, better known as Sidi or Kemity, has addressed those who criticise her for having two children with different men, saying her journey was shaped by difficult circumstances, not choice.
Speaking on Biola Bayo’s Talk to B podcast, posted on Instagram on Tuesday, Kemity opened up about the events that led to her having children for two different men, revealing that she became pregnant while still in secondary school.
“I was about to sit for my SSCE exam when I got pregnant. My mother insisted that I must continue my education before I could marry the man who got me pregnant,” she said.

Kemity also revealed that the father of her first child died under tragic circumstances after returning to Nigeria from Malaysia.
“The father of my first child was killed in a Nigeria hotel after he returned from Malaysia. He didn’t inform me or anyone when he came back to Nigeria. I just received a call that he was found dead and when we got to the scene, we only saw 300 dollars with him. We believed the money he returned with was stolen before we got there. That is how I became a widow,” she said.
The actress lamented being unfairly judged by people who know little about her past.
“I was trolled for having two children for different fathers. People don’t really know how it happened. It is not my wish or intentions to leave my husband,” she said.
Recalling how she met the father of her second child, Kemity explained that their relationship started while she was undergoing computer training, and they had a court wedding before things fell apart.
“I met the father of my second child when I was doing computer training. I had a court wedding with him, but we started having misunderstanding over his extra marital affairs after I got pregnant for him. I later left him when he told me that his Alfa told him that he cannot be successful except he separates from me,” she narrated.
