In his latest Instagram Q\&A session, Kamo revealed that Akindele recently gifted him an iPhone 16 Pro Max worth ₦2.4 million.

Despite being instructed to keep the gesture private, Kamo could not contain his excitement. He said he felt compelled to share just how much the celebrated actress has impacted his life and the lives of many others.

“Funke Akindele is a mother to many, even before I met her. I am just the dramatic son; that’s why mine is loud,” Kamo wrote. “Just last week, she bought me an iPhone 16 Pro Max for ₦2.4M and warned me not to post it. The things I post about her are just 1% out of the 100% she has done for me and my family.”

The heartfelt post has since drawn emotional reactions from fans and colleagues in the entertainment industry. Many praised Funke Akindele not only for her talent and accomplishments but also for her consistent acts of compassion, especially towards up-and-coming creatives like Kamo.

This is not the first time Kamo State has spoken publicly about Akindele’s unwavering support. Earlier this year, he shared details about how she supported him during the birth of his first child, highlighting the critical role she played behind the scenes.

Known for her ability to discover and nurture young talent, Funke Akindele has maintained a maternal presence in the lives of many rising stars.

Her collaborations often extend beyond the screen, as she takes a deep personal interest in the wellbeing of her protégés. Her gesture towards Kamo appears to be yet another chapter in her long history of quiet but impactful support.

“People only see what I post,” Kamo added. “But there’s so much more she’s done that I haven’t even said out loud. If I start to talk, we won’t leave here today.”

Kamo State, whose real name is Ganiyu Kehinde, has become a household name on social media through his comedic skits and roles in Akindele’s productions.

His admiration for the actress has never been hidden, but this latest revelation has rekindled public appreciation for the woman many now call “mother of the industry.”

Social media users were quick to react to Kamo’s post, with comments flooding in from fans and celebrities alike. One follower wrote, “Funke Akindele is truly a gem.

Her kindness speaks louder than words.” Another commented, “This is why she’ll always rise. She lifts others as she climbs.”

Akindele, who recently starred in and directed one of Nigeria’s highest-grossing films, has yet to respond to Kamo’s message. True to her style, she has often let her actions speak for themselves, remaining humble in the face of praise.

This emotional revelation further cements Funke Akindele’s reputation not just as a powerhouse in Nollywood but as a selfless mentor whose acts of kindness continue to inspire.
