Aliyat Olamide’s journey from social media comedy to the big screen exemplifies how Nigeria’s new wave of digital creators is changing entertainment. Known as Kidbaby, she began by creating TikTok skits that felt refreshingly real, funny yet grounded, exaggerated yet sincere. Her ability to turn everyday moments into stories that make people laugh and think quickly made her a fan favourite.

“I’ve always wanted my videos to feel human,” she explains. “Even when I make people laugh, I want them to feel something real.” That human touch has become her signature, turning viral moments into lasting impressions.

As her audience grew, so did her creative ambitions. Kidbaby’s transition to Nollywood was a natural next step. She brought her expressive energy to the screen with ease, proving that her storytelling could thrive beyond social media. Her acting debut showcased a performer with emotional depth and professional range.

Now, Kidbaby is producing her own projects and collaborating with brands that align with her values. She remains committed to creating content with purpose, pushing for representation and storytelling that speaks to everyday Nigerians. “Social media gave me a voice,” she says, “but film gives me the power to make that voice echo.” From skits to cinema, Kidbaby continues to bridge creativity and culture.
