Kunle Afolayan’s Son Speaks Out Following Viral Video Of Him Catwalking With Braided Hair

Dieko Afolayan, son of renowned Nollywood filmmaker Kunle Afolayan, has spoken out following a viral video that took social media by storm.

The clip, which captured Dieko’s confident demeanor and stylish moves while vibing to a song, sparked widespread reactions, particularly on X (formerly Twitter). Many Nigerians speculated about his personality and fashion choices.

This isn’t the first time the young model has been in the spotlight. In 2024, he also gained attention for a video where he flaunted his designer bag and outfit while shopping.

In the latest viral footage, Dieko was seen dressed in jeans and a t-shirt, accessorized with a luxury handbag, which he carried elegantly on his elbow.

Addressing the public’s curiosity, Dieko took the opportunity to reintroduce himself. He described himself as a person of sophistication, dedication, style, and success—someone with multiple talents.

He also shared a glimpse into his mindset, revealing that he often spends time in deep thought and only engages with the external world when necessary. Dieko expressed feeling misunderstood in society and admitted that he is currently on a journey of self-discovery.

Despite the mixed reactions, the filmmaker’s son remains focused on being a positive influence, particularly for the younger generation.

“I’m trying to find myself in a world of chaos and not being accepted. I want to be a role model to young boys and girls. I’m unapologetic and self-aware,” he said in part.
