When Norway held a national ceremony of remembrance on 21 August for the 77 victims of the worst attacks on the country since World War Two, the TV broadcast was hosted by Njie. She also hosted the one year memorial concert on 22 July 2012.
Njie has toured Norway several times, both as a solo artist and as part of the comedy group Queendom, consisting of herself and four other black Norwegian women, all sharing in part African backgrounds. Much of the group's material lampoons either Norwegians or Africans.[2]
In 2021, she competed on the Norwegian version of masked singer as the mermaid.
After a twelve-year relationship, Njie married Fredrik Lyngås Pedersen in 2010. The couple ended their relationship in 2012.[8]
In 2014, Njie confirmed that she and Labour Party politician Trond Giske were in a relationship.[9] In September 2015, Njie announced that she was pregnant. She and Giske had a daughter in 2016.[10]
