According to Mama G, her recurring role as the 'wicked woman' is not just a career choice but a calling she believes was divinely assigned to her.

She explained that she sees her portrayal of such characters as a tool for social commentary, using the roles to shine a light on injustice, wickedness, and moral consequences.

"God created me to expose them,I hate injustice. I hate war. I hate anything that shows rancor. So when you give me that kind of role, I try to bring out everything I know about you, that if you are taking part in any of them, you will be careful."
