The premiere of Kunle Afolayan’s latest series, “Anikulapo: The Rise of the Spectre,” was a star-studded event. Renowned actors like Sola Sobowale, Lateef Adedimeji, Mo Bimpe, and Bimbo Ademoye graced the occasion, along with singer D’Banj and filmmaker Tunde Kelani. The night was filled with glamour and celebration, marking the much-anticipated arrival of the series.
However, the post-premiere festivities took an unexpected turn. A video surfaced online showing Kunle Afolayan dancing with his daughter, Eyiyemi, who also has a significant role in “Anikulapo.” While the intention behind the dance remains unclear, it sparked widespread criticism.
Many viewers expressed disapproval of the dance, finding it inappropriate for a father to engage in such behavior with his daughter. The video quickly gained traction online, igniting a debate about cultural norms and social boundaries. The incident overshadowed the initial excitement surrounding the series premiere, leaving both Afolayan and the public grappling with the controversy.
