Nigerian adult content creator MisNympho has shed light on the deeply personal circumstances that led her into the world of pornography, citing a desire for personal freedom, financial independence, and rebellion against a strict upbringing.

In a recent interview on Pulse Hot Takes, MisNympho said her entry into adult film began shortly after a nude photo she posted on Twitter went viral. At the time, she was just 18 and working as a nude model with aspirations of entering the mainstream modeling industry.

“I’m doing porn so I don’t have to work too hard,” she said. “Anything that would make me stand up and go around… So as a lazy person, this was a way out.”

Reflecting on her decision, she shared that it came after years of being sheltered and confined during her childhood.

I had just gotten my freedom at the time—I think I was 19 years old. I really didn’t have a childhood of freedom. I was always locked up, locked in… indoors all the time and I didn’t really have friends.

I wasn't even out there so when I finally got the privilege to be out there I thought I could rebel. So let me rebel.

MisNympho’s first adult video experience was far from ideal. She said the producers failed to uphold their agreement to mask her identity and paid her far less than was initially promised. 

My thought process was I'm already here, even though they didn't have a mask as initially agreed. I just thought let me do it. I did it and then I received a little amount of money. We had agreed on a far larger amount of money but there was nothing I could do. There are no laws supporting adult content in Nigeria. I still created content with them a second time and the pay was slightly better.

As would be anticipated from someone in her field,her career choice has strained family relationships, especially with her mother.

She explained, "I don't have a relationship with my mum. I think she found out from the porn I acted.  I think people saw it and sent it to her and then she called me and was yelling at me."

We never had a calm conversation about it and I don't know why she was shouting at me. I didn't even live with her anymore at that point In time. I blocked her but stayed in touch with my sister.
