Dieko Afolayan, son of filmmaker Kunle Afolayan, has faced intense online scrutiny over his s3xuality after attending a movie premiere.
Social media users questioned his s3xuality and accused him of being influenced by Western culture.
Undeterred, the 19-year-old addressed the backlash on Instagram, declaring himself “unapologetically authentic”.
He emphasised his ambition, hard work and self-awareness, aspiring to be a role model for young boys and girls.
Afolayan said: “I will keep on introducing myself at certain times until people know me. If you are looking for where hard work meets success or how your guy will become that person, you’re welcome to my page,” he said.
“I am an individual of many talents. I am 19 years old. I would describe myself as ambitious and hardworking. I would describe myself as self-aware.
“One thing people should know about me is that I am very reserved. I am an influencer, creator, and entrepreneur. I come from a line of stars. I am also an individual who is trying to find himself in a world of chaos, in a world of not being accepted, being made to conform to society’s measures of what they expect of me. It is annoying.
“I want to be a role model to boys and girls out there. To be honest, the majority of my role models are women. I am someone who is unapologetic about who I am. I am unapologetic about my values and standards.”
