Why I Reconciled With My Brother, Aremu At Our Mother’s Burial – Actor, Kunle Afolayan Speaks

Kunle Afolayan, the popular Nigerian actor cum movie producer, has spoken about the reasons for ending a longtime fight with his brother, Aremu Afolayan.

The two sons of the late iconic filmmaker and theatre legend, Ade Love, have been at odds for a long time.

In 2018, the duo’s feud attracted public attention after Aremu claimed their father lived in poverty despite fame.

Reacting to Aremu’s remarks during a viral interview, Kunle called Aremu stupid.

However, the siblings finally ended their rift during the wake-keep ceremony for their mother in Oyo State on Friday, November 22 2024.

Speaking at the event, Kunle said he was not Aremu’s brother but his father, emphasizing that he was 10 years older than him.

He said, “One thing I want to tell all Aremu’s friends is that I am not his brother but his father. I trained him and I’m 10 years older than him, but you, his female friends, push him. But love conquers all.

Similarly, Aremu apologised to Kunle; “My greatest joy today is that my mother made us talk. She didn’t stop praying because I was the black sheep in the family. I disagree with my brother Kunle; he has no excuses because they said we resemble each other.

“ I’m sorry for putting brother Kunle through the Instagram backlash. It’s because I love you.”
