Life
Adefuye was born on 20 July, the youngest of a family of five. Her early education was in Lagos which she completed at Queen's College. She modeled for Durovo because he was a friend of the family when she was fourteen.[1]
Her full name is Gbemisola Anthonia Adefuye and she went to the University of Lancaster in the UK where she studied marketing and economics.[2] When the course was complete, she returned to Nigeria in 2009 to explore her interest in show business. Her brother had been a musician with the band Oxygen and Tones initially decided to be a show business photographer. Her portfolio caught the attention of D'banj’s reality show, Koko Mansion.[1]
In 2017, she continued to do photographic work[1] but was then both behind and in front of the camera.[3] She has appeared as an actor in the web TV series "Gidi-culture"; in several films[4] including "It's Her Day" in 2016.[5] She also starred in the movie "King of Boys"[6] as the younger Eniola Salami. The movie premiered on 21 October 2018.
