Nollywood actor Aremu Afolayan has shared a heartfelt birthday tribute to his nephew, Dieko Afolayan, son of acclaimed director Kunle Afolayan, as he turns 19 today, November 6, 2024.
Posting a recent photo of the two of them on his official Instagram page, Aremu celebrated Dieko’s milestone, and fans responded warmly, praising the family bond and sending their own birthday wishes to the young Afolayan.
Note that Aremu Afolayan is the younger brother of Kunle Afolayan. However, they have not been on talking terms with each other for sometimes now until the death of their mother where Aremu took to his page to celebrate Dieko Afolayan.
Omoladun Afolayan, the mother of Kunle Afolayan and Aremu Afolayan recently passed away at the age of 81. However, before the death of their mother, Kunle believes that Aremu’s lifestyle is dragging the family name into disrepute because he lacks contentment. Findings revealed that Aremu’s penchant for mature women is one of the reasons the highly revered film maker is angry at him.
Showing his utmost love for his brother’s son Dieko Afolayan on his 19th birthday, Aremu Afolayan wrote; “My babyboy is 19 today. I love you so much…life can not even explain MY DEE, i love ou okomi. @diekoafolayan.”
