Nollywood star Femi Adebayo has melted hearts across social media after posting an emotional moment with his father, veteran actor Adebayo Salami, in the wake of his recent win at the 2025 Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA).
At the star-studded ceremony held on Saturday, May 10, at Eko Hotels and Suites in Lagos, Femi clinched the Best Lead Actor award for his performance in Seven Doors.
Rather than keeping the spotlight to himself, Femi chose to visit his father immediately after the event, presenting the award to him at home. In a video shared on Instagram, Femi—dressed in a white shirt and checkered jacket—can be seen kneeling beside his father, who offered heartfelt prayers for his son’s continued success.
Alongside the touching video, Femi wrote:
“There are moments awards can’t measure—like this one. Humbled beyond words as my father and dear mother poured prayers over me today.
Seven Doors may have triumphed at #AMVCA2025, but the true foundation of everything I am… is right here. Their sacrifices, their prayers, their love—without them, there is no me. This win is ours.”
The emotional gesture quickly resonated with fans and fellow actors, many of whom praised the Jagun Jagun star for honoring his roots and family even in a moment of personal triumph.
