Malik Lemmy is celebrating an extraordinary 20-year journey in the entertainment industry—a remarkable milestone for an actor who started captivating audiences long before many kids could even spell “acting.”
At just 24 years old, Malik’s career has been filled with incredible opportunities, and he recently took to social media to share a heartfelt message of gratitude to mark this special occasion. The post was accompanied by a video montage showcasing his diverse body of work—featuring roles in movies, TV series, voiceovers, infomercials, and as a brand ambassador—all set to the uplifting sound of “Thank You Lord” by CalledOut Music.
In his caption, Malik wrote: “Thank you for being part of my journey. Cheers to 2025—here’s to winning and many more! God bless us. God bless Kenya. #YoungBillionaire.”
The video itself was an emotional tribute, with Malik reflecting on the sheer blessing of his journey: “20 years in the industry. God is the greatest! I am forever humbled because it could have been someone else in my shoes. To everyone we’ve crossed paths with or who has supported my career, I love you and am forever grateful.”
Born on July 29, 2000, in Nairobi, Kenya, Malik’s entry into the acting world was nothing short of serendipitous. He began his acting career at just five years old, stepping into the role of a street child in the popular Kenyan series Makutano Junction—a performance that earned him recognition and set the stage for a flourishing career.
Over the years, Malik has continued to diversify his talents. In 2020, he played the role of Vinnie in the hit TV series Kina, which deepened his connection with his audience. The following year, Malik stepped into a dual role as both actor and writer for the short film Present Chronicles: Love Gone Sour, demonstrating his creative versatility.
In 2022, Malik took on the role of Dimore in the football-themed TV mini-series Pepeta, a show that brought Kenyan football culture to the screen. He also featured in Mawimbi, a powerful 2022 short film directed by Mark Wambui that highlighted themes of hope and struggle within Kenyan society.
Throughout it all, Malik has remained deeply connected to his roots and has continually used his platform to inspire others.
