Early Life and Education
Adekemi Taofeek (born on April 30, 1988, 37 years old) is from Abeokuta, Ogun State. She came from a well-disciplined Yoruba Muslim family, headed by her police officer father and her mother, who was always there to support her.
As the first of the five siblings, she underwent a rigorous upbringing, grounded in and reinforced by the values and resilience her parents later instilled in her.

Career
Actress Adekemi Taofeek was considered around 2008-2009, but she did not fully pursue her career until 2012, after a lucky break on the set of Silifa Alamala. Baby Mama (Iya Omo) (2016), which she produced and starred in, was her big break that made others notice her talents.
It paved the way for her visionary skills and versatility. Tibi Tire and Aaye Mi are some of the titles of her works, while she has also credited films such as Ewon Ife (2021), Fun (2022), Fairytales (2020), Ole Adugbo (2023), and she has done joint works with the likes of Chika Ike, Ali Nuhu, and Majid Michael.
The Fastest-Rising Actress nomination at the City People Movie Awards was one of her accomplishments. Besides this, Adekemi is also the brain behind MAT Cosmetics, which specialises in hair, clothing, and beauty products—a business that came before her stardom. As of 2025, Adekemi continues to champion women’s narratives in Nollywood while expanding her brand.
