Actresses Victoria Kolawole and Dada Tolani shared heart emojis in the comment section, while Adeola Adewoyin urged Kemity to remain strong.
Actor Jigan Babaoja wrote, “May her soul rest peacefully,” while Biola Adekunle added, “It is well,” accompanied by a crying emoji.
The exact cause of Nimmy Ferrari’s death has not been officially confirmed as of the time of filing this report.

Videos circulating online also showed family members carrying her remains for burial, reportedly in the Sagamu area of Ogun State.
