Nigerian actor and entertainer Akinyoola Ayoola, popularly known as Kamo State, has addressed speculation surrounding his relationship with Nollywood filmmaker Funke Akindele.

Speaking in an interview with BBC Yoruba, Kamo State dismissed reports of a fallout between them, explaining that there is no conflict or misunderstanding.

He added that the reason they are no longer seen together as frequently is because both of them have become increasingly occupied with their individual careers.

“Before I met her, she had been like a role model to me; I love her very much. The first time I saw her in person was on the set of Everybody Loves Jenifa. I started calling her mummy because of how she treated me on set. We are still together, even closer. But now she is very busy with her December project, which didn’t give her a chance. I am also not the same as I used to be last year, and her prayer is that I should also always be called to work on projects. There is no fight; don’t let people paint what doesn’t exist,” he stated.
