Nigerian actor and entertainer Akinyoola Ayoola, popularly known as Kamo State, has finally spoken up regarding his relationship with Nollywood filmmaker, Funke Akindele. The actor , while speaking during an interview with BBC Yoruba, explained that there is no rift or disagreement between himself and Akindele, noting that they are no longer seen together as often is because both of them are busier with their respective careers. Kamo further explained that despite their busy schedule, their bond had grown stronger, laying rest to rumours of a fallout. “Before I met her, she had been like a role model to me; I love her very much. The first time I saw her in person was on the set of Everybody Loves Jenifa. I started calling her mummy because of how she treated me on set. We are still together, even closer. But now she is very busy with her December project, which didn’t give her a chance. I am also not the same as I used to be last year, and her prayer is that I should also always be called to work on projects. There is no fight; don’t let people paint what doesn’t exist,” he stated.
