Nollywood actress and influencer Adesanya Nimota Omotolani, widely recognized by her professional name Nimmy Ferrari, has died at the age of 26. Her passing was confirmed on September 6, 2026, by her colleague and friend, Oluwakemisola “Kemity” Apesin.
The timing of the actress’s death has added a layer of profound tragedy to the news, as she had recently reached a significant life milestone. Ferrari had just finished the construction of her first self-built home in Sagamu, Ogun State. She was reportedly planning to host a housewarming ceremony to celebrate the achievement later that same week. Instead, the property served as the site for her final farewell; the actress was buried at the newly completed residence on Monday, September 7, 2026.
Ferrari established her career through a blend of social media influence and traditional acting. She was well-known for her “street-style” vox-pop interviews, which helped build her online following, and for her roles in Yoruba-language films such as World Famous. According to Vanguard News, the news of her death has led to a surge of tributes from prominent figures in the industry, including Jigan Babaoja and Victoria Kolawole.
While an official medical report has not been publicly released, unconfirmed reports suggest that the actress died due to complications following fibroid surgery. Ferrari had remained active on social media until shortly before her passing, with her final post shared on September 1, 2026, six days before her death was confirmed to the public.
