She also attended Babcock High School and Caleb International School for her secondary education. She studied Management Information Systems at Covenant University and also studied drama in other courses.[3] Oladipupo inspiration to go into acting came when she was still an undergraduate at Covenant University during a church service when the pastor told them to turn their talent into skills.[citation needed]
She successfully auditioned for MTV Shuga in 2015 where she was given what became the continuing role of "Faa".[4] She puts her success down to the media mogul Mo Abudu who taught her to have self-belief.[5] In 2015 she appeared in the first season of Indigo, Inevitable and The Other Me.[3] In 2017 she appeared in the film Missing as the secretary playing herself.[6]

The show was broadcast for 60 nights and its backers include the World Health Organization.[7] The series was based in Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya and Côte d'Ivoire and the story was explained with on-line conversations between the characters.
