Adeyemi Afolayan, known as Ade love in the Nigerian film industry was a popular and celebrated filmmaker. Many of his fans who knew him when he was alive were shocked when one of his sons, Aremu Afolayan confessed that his late dad died a poor man.
Aremu Afolayan’s elder brother, Kunle Afolayan who is a popular filmmaker has debunked the claims. Speaking in a chat with Punch, Kunle noted that his dad did not die a poor man.
Hear him: “ Do you know Ade Love? Was Ade Love a poor man? That is his (Aremu’s) own opinion as everyone has a mind of their own. I would not say things were rosy, but we were never poor. If your parents were able to give you quality education and you enjoyed some luxuries that a lot of people didn’t have access to, then you cannot openly say you come from a poor home.”
“I am sure I didn’t come from a poor home. Though I cannot speak for anyone, I just think he (Aremu) is stupid. I didn’t get to see the story. Funnily, some people thought I was the one who granted the interview. When the General Manager of Eko Hotel told me he read my interview, I was surprised because I didn’t grant any interview recently. Whenever I see the man again, I will let him know it was not me he read; it is a misrepresentation.”
