A YouTube video published by @KamoStateTV features popular Nigerian content creator Akinyoola Ayoola, known as Kamo State, clarifying reports of a rift with blockbuster filmmaker Funke Akindele. He dismissed allegations that bad blood developed between them following their work together on set.
Kamo State explained that high-pressure film environments can lead to misunderstandings, but maintained that he holds deep respect for Akindele’s professional standards.
Naija News highlighted his statements regarding the working relationship, quoting Kamo State directly as saying he wanted to clear the air “Because Of How She Treated Me On Set” to dispel false rumors. In parallel coverage, Pulse Nigeria addressed Nollywood set dynamics, referencing former co-stars who noted that “Funke Akindele and industry expectations” often spark exaggerated viral stories online.
Echotitbits take:
Rumors of conflicts between established Nollywood directors and emerging creators frequently trend, but Kamo State’s proactive clarification helps protect both of their professional reputations. Setting the record straight prevents online gossip from overshadowing future collaborative projects in the skit and film sectors.
