Nigerian actress BamBam has described her role in the upcoming film ‘No Man of God’ as one of the most defining moments of her acting career, saying the project allowed her to showcase her full talent as a performer.
Speaking to GhanaWeb’s Patience Adu after the ‘No Man of God musical’ held at the National Theatre on Friday, July 24, 2026, BamBam revealed that the production combined two of her greatest passions, music and acting.
Although many fans know her primarily as an actress, BamBam said music was actually her first love before she ventured into acting.
“Music was my first love. We’ve had a relationship. Then it became too expensive to maintain that relationship, so I had to bow out. Then I found acting, and acting fell in love with me and didn’t want to let me go. Now music came back and said, ‘Baby, I miss you,” she said, humorously comparing balancing both careers to managing two relationships.
Reflecting on her performance in the stage musical, BamBam described the experience as a blessing.
“It was a blessing. I’ve always loved music, so being able to sing live on stage was special for me,” she said.
The actress disclosed that one of the reasons she immediately embraced the project was because the film’s writer and director created her character with her specifically in mind.
“When I read the script, I was really excited because the director and writer said he had me in mind when he was drafting the character. Not many writers do that. That touched my heart,” noted
According to BamBam, No Man of God also marked another important milestone as her first Pan-African film project outside Nigeria.
She explained that the role challenged her in ways previous productions had not.
“I had to show range. I sang, I acted, I played a slightly older woman, I was pregnant, I was broken emotionally. It showed everything that I am as a talent,” she said
While she has portrayed emotionally demanding characters before, BamBam admitted this role required a different level of depth.
The actress is among the cast of No Man of God, which is scheduled for release in November 2026 after the successful staging of its musical adaptation at the National Theatre in Accra.
