In a heartfelt gesture that has captured the admiration of fans and fellow celebrities alike, skit maker and comedian Kamo State publicly expressed deep gratitude to Nollywood icon Funke Akindele for her unwavering support during a crucial moment in his personal life — the birth of his child.
Taking to social media with emotion-laden words, Kamo State praised Akindele not just as a mentor and colleague, but as a “true family” who stood by him and his wife throughout the delicate process of childbirth.
“Thank you, Aunty Funke, for showing up when it mattered most. You were a rock for me and my wife,” he wrote. “Your presence, your prayers, your care — it meant the world.”
While Funke Akindele is known for lighting up screens with hit films like "Omo Ghetto" and "A Tribe Called Judah", it’s moments like this that showcase the depth of her character beyond stardom. According to Kamo, Akindele was emotionally and physically present — offering support, checking in constantly, and even helping coordinate logistics during the tense moments at the hospital.
Sources close to the comedian revealed that the actress stayed in close contact with the family, offering both emotional and practical help when complications briefly arose.
“She didn’t just ask if we were okay — she made sure we were,” Kamo added.
The touching message has sparked an outpouring of love online, with fans praising the sense of community and loyalty within Nigeria’s entertainment industry — especially in a world where fame often isolates rather than unites.
“Funke Akindele is a national treasure. Her talent is unmatched, but her humanity is even greater,” one fan commented on Kamo State’s post.
Another fan wrote,
“It’s beautiful to see stars uplifting each other behind the scenes. May we all have a ‘Funke’ in our lives.”
While Kamo State didn’t share extensive details about the birth, he confirmed both mother and child are healthy and doing well. He thanked God for safe delivery and promised to release more updates — possibly including photos — in due time.
As for Akindele, she responded to the public message with humility, reposting his words with a simple heart emoji and a note that read:
“Family means showing up. Congratulations again, my dear brother.”
This episode reminds us that real relationships — built on respect, loyalty, and love — often matter more than red carpet moments or viral skits. In an industry sometimes plagued by rivalries and egos, Funke Akindele’s quiet but powerful act of kindness is a refreshing reminder of what it means to be present for one another.
For Kamo State and his family, the joy of welcoming a child has been made even more special by the presence of a friend who went above and beyond.
