Speaking at a watch party for his latest film, Afolayan explained that his divorce case is already in court and that he is prepared to face the legal process. He said the decision aligns with the kind of marital life he believes in.
The veteran director traced his perspective to his upbringing, noting that his late father practiced polygamy, having ten wives and 25 children, with Afolayan himself being the seventh child. He credited his father’s family structure for shaping his life, career, and the success of projects like KAP Village.
Afolayan also encouraged men to consider family continuity beyond monogamy, stating: “I am in and out of court seeking a divorce. I don’t mind the toll. So I can marry many wives now. Without my father, there wouldn’t be a KAP Village or even Kunle Afolayan.”
