According to Afolayan, he and Chatta were working towards preserving culture and heritage, not competing with each other.
He said:
“We are both doing everything possible to uplift the glory of all, not just our ancestors, but the lineage and where we are from, from the root. There’s Afri Chatta in Oyo. If you haven’t been there, you should go. Many of the films you’ve seen, like Ageshinkole, were shot at Afri Chatta Resorts and Film Studio. There is no competition! We are not even doing the same thing. And this is the first time he is going to come here. Even though I’ve invited him several times, I’m guilty too,” Afolayan said.
He also made a remark about cinema projects in Nigeria, saying:
“I don't want 2 billion or 1 billion in cinema, if I wouldn’t be able to take N10 million.”
The likes of Kiekie, Broda Shaggi, Papi Luwe, Sola Kosoko, Gabriel Afolayan, among other Nollywood stars, were present at the event.
