The post, which pulled in over 10,000 likes within minutes of going up, marked the first public appearance the two have made together following speculation about their relationship.
What sparked the rift rumours
Tension between the two began when Akindele was conspicuously absent from Kamo State's movie premiere, a no-show that many fans and bloggers took as confirmation that things had soured between them.
Although Kamo State had repeatedly insisted there was no beef, the absence kept tongues wagging.
The new photos, shared in connection with the promotion of his film StarLomo, now showing in cinemas across Nigeria, appear to have put those rumours firmly to rest. Akindele herself commented on the post with a string of laughing emojis, and her reaction suggested she was very much in on the fun.
