He added that the industry grows stronger when they support each other, share knowledge, and create spaces where the next generation can thrive. “Last night at KAP Film Village & Resort, I hosted a small party for some filmmakers who have been shooting here for the past 10 days. It was important for me to celebrate them, especially the younger creatives among the team. Our industry grows stronger when we support one another, share knowledge, and create spaces where the next generation can thrive. Film is not just about cameras and lights — it is about community, collaboration, and unity. At KAP Film Village, we are building more than a location… we are building a home for African storytellers. @kapfilmvillageandresort Here’s to more stories, more collaborations, and a stronger film family. 🎬✨ @kayodekasum @realyemisolade @ronkeoshodioke @odunomoadekola @toyin_abraham @realmercyaigbe @bolajiogunmola @_timini @kamo_state @mikeafolarin @tomike_a @kiitanbukola @_geepeey”. Earlier this year, Kunle Afolayan earned backlash after he threw shots at Toyin and Funke, stating that he is not interested in ₦1 billion or ₦2 billion in cinema earnings if he cannot get at least ₦10 million from them. He also took a swipe at his colleagues for constantly dancing to promote their movies. Hitting back at him, Funke made it known that she isn’t the one hindering his progress, as she admonished him not to let jealousy burn him, noting that the sky is so big for everybody to fly. Joining Kunle, Omotola Jalade Ekeinde while promoting her movie revealed that she wouldn’t be dancing to market or promote her movies, describing such behaviour as unprofessional, noting how she has done a quality movie and needs to promote it. Weighing in, Iyabo Ojo noted how jealousy is the last class to attend before becoming a witch. She questioned who made the rules and admonished her colleagues to do what works for them and allow others win their way. She added that 2026 ain’t for talkers, but for doers. Also weighing in, Chinyere Wilfred threw shade, while sharing a video of herself dancing. She adminished others not to dance to promote their movies.
