In an interview with punchng.com in 2018, Kazeem said the slang came up when he was with friends, arguing about the real age of actresses in the movie industry.

β€œI have actually done several skits but it’s just that God had mandated that I would become popular with this β€˜Sho mo age mi’ slang. I was on a movie location with some of my friends when we started talking about our actresses that were celebrating their 40th birthday; we said that some of them were either not up to 40 years or they were above the age.

β€œThat was how we started arguing and I cited myself as an example, asking them if they knew if I was up to 40 years old. That’s how I started asking them if they knew my age in Yoruba. From there, something urged me to do a skit about it and that’s how it went viral,” he said.
