Eyiyemi is Kunle Afolayan’s first child and she made her debut appearance as an actor on the set of Anikulapo.
Also last year, Kunle while expressing his gratitude after bagging 5 awards at AMVCA, revealed that he was working on Anikulapo’s sequel, ‘Rise of the Spectre’.
He revealed that well-known streaming service Netflix, was pressuring him to turn Anikulapo, into a television series.
He claimed that Netflix urged him to first make a movie, and if it was successful, a series would be created, despite his initial desire to turn the film into a television show.
