Kunle Afolayan’s Viral Dance Video with Daughter Eyiyemi Sparks Controversy

A video of Kulne Afolayan, an ace Nigerian filmmaker and actress daughter Eyiyemi dancing has sparked controversy on social media.

ER reports that during the weekend, the actor hosted the premiere of his highly anticipated series, “Anikulapo: The Rise of the Spectre.”

Footage from the premiere’s after-party captured Kunle Afolayan dancing with his eldest daughter, Eyiyemi, who also features prominently in the Anikulapo series.

The video of the father-daughter duo grooving together has set tongues wagging and fingers typing furiously across social media platforms.

In the video, Kunle Afolayan and Eyiyemi Afolayan are seen swaying to the rhythm of the music, lost in the joy of the moment. However, what was intended as a heartwarming display of familial affection has sparked a flurry of reactions from Nigerian netizens, with many dissecting their dance moves.

Critics have been quick to point out what they perceive as sexual awkwardness in the dance routine, citing differences in rhythm and coordination between the father and daughter.

Here are some reactions below:
