Oluyemi Victoria, widely recognised as Egbaopewa Comedy, has revealed that she originally aspired to become a newscaster rather than a comedian. According to Punch, the Osun State content creator stated that her passion for entertainment eventually led her to discover her true talent in comedy during her secondary school days.

The skit maker explained that Prophetess Abosede Fapounda gave her the stage name after her first online video gained widespread attention. She admitted facing backlash from critics who claim her material mocks Christianity, but stressed that she remains determined to press forward despite the negative feedback from viewers.

Reflecting on her career milestones, the creator shared her excitement over learning that her comedy videos are being watched abroad, including in the United Kingdom. She urged upcoming performers to remain consistent, ignore harsh public criticism, and refrain from evaluating their success against the achievements of others.
