Career 

Sophie first made a name for herself in 2010 as a dancer and performer in Wizkid's song, "Holla At Your Boy." This was the start of her career. When rumors surfaced that she was dating Wizkid, her fame grew even more. Even though they broke up a long time ago, she is still known for her past relationship with the artist.

Sophie didn't start acting until 2016 after sharing her aspirations with Desmond Elliot, whom she met at a function. Encouraged by Elliot, she started attending auditions.

Another tough role was in "Venom" (2019) alongside Frederick Leonard. In this movie, she had to portray a character who was consistently physically, emotionally, and sexually abused.
