Nigerian adult film actress Mareme Edet has once again sparked intense public debate following a jaw-dropping confession during her appearance on The Clarity Zone Podcast.
In the emotionally raw interview, Edet revealed that she slept with over 100 men within a single year while actively working in the porn industry.
“I had to write a list for Daniel Akpata,” she said.
“That’s when I realized I had already slept with 100 men. That’s why I decided to do porn – at least I could choose who I shoot with, and if someone’s spirit doesn’t align with mine, I move on.”
Edet’s entry into adult entertainment, she explained, was not just about sexual freedom but also a response to emotional and spiritual turmoil.
She alleged that her family, whom she described as “strong and spiritual,” had been punishing her for her career choices by spiritually blocking her financial success.
“No money yet,” she said.
“They have been stealing my money. They just make me do it and be happy, but I won’t see the fruit of the labour until they forgive me.”
According to Edet, her appearance on the podcast marked a turning point, her family had finally forgiven her, allowing her to speak publicly and reclaim her voice.
When asked how she sustains her lifestyle, she offered a cryptic response:
“Me and my sponsor.”
Perhaps most striking was her admission that she has never been in a romantic relationship. Despite her extensive sexual history, Edet said emotional intimacy has eluded her.
“I need someone that can have sex with me for the rest of my life, anytime I want it, whenever I want it,” she said. “Then I may think about stopping porn.”
Her comments challenge conventional ideas of love, suggesting that her fulfillment is rooted in autonomy and physical compatibility rather than emotional connection.
Despite the backlash and spiritual battles, Edet expressed no regrets. “If I have to come back to this world, what I am doing now I will still do it again,” she said.
Since the podcast aired, reactions have flooded social media. Some praised her honesty and vulnerability, while others expressed concern over the psychological toll of her experiences. The interview has reignited broader conversations about sex work, societal judgment, and the complex intersection of culture, spirituality, and identity in Nigeria.
