During her interview, Kiekie was asked: "Who is the real Kiekie, and with the recent economic crisis in the country, a lot of youths have opted to travel out of the country for greener pasture; will you consider that too?" To these, Kiekie responded:

KIEKIE: This is the real KieKie. My husband once looked at me and asked himself how he was coping with me. The way I am on Instagram is the way I am in real life, I am hyper. That’s why I keep my space very small because my personality is in me being hyper. I’m a sanguine and I don’t know how to hide things. If someone starts annoying me, I will quickly change things and get upset. I don’t get angry for too long; I just give it to you as it comes.

[On the question of relocating,] No, I won’t. It’s not just about being patriotic. I’m creative and I will genuinely excel here than abroad. I lived in London for three years; I went to two schools in the United Kingdom and I have seen things happen. Professionals do better in Canada and America but as a creative person, I will do better here. As an actor, if I enter Hollywood today, where do I start from? But here, I have already made name for myself, so where am I going? I’m being paid well, let me be honest with you.
