Award-winning Nigerian filmmaker Kunle Afolayan and his brother, Aremu Afolayan, have reconciled, marking the end of a prolonged feud between the two.
The siblings, who are sons of the late legendary filmmaker and theatre icon Ade Love (Adeyemi Afolayan), had been estranged for years due to personal differences.
Kunle and Aremu are part of a prominent artistic family that includes their siblings Moji Afolayan, Gabriel Afolayan, and Anu Afolayan, all of whom have contributed to the entertainment industry in various capacities.
the founder of KAP Film & Television Academy had strained relations with Aremu due to personal life choices and lifestyle.
Their feud attracted public attention in 2018 when Kunle, in a Punch newspaper interview published on 22 April, called Aremu ‘stupid’ for claiming that their father lived in poverty despite his fame.
A week earlier, Aremu caused a stir when, in a 14th April Punch interview, he said he was born poor and opened up on what the newspaper called ‘‘his grass to grace story’’.
Because Aremu can pass for Kunle’s twin owing to their uncanny resemblance, his (Aremu’s) interview was embarrassing for Kunle; it led to some form of barrage of calls from his friends and associates who mistook Aremu for him.
