Nollywood icon Femi Adebayo has left fans deeply emotional after sharing a touching father-son moment that followed his triumphant win at the 2025 Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA). On Saturday, May 10, at the glamorous event held at Eko Hotels and Suites in Lagos, Femi took home the prestigious Best Lead Actor award for his stellar role in Seven Doors.
Rather than bask in the limelight alone, Femi chose to honor the man who inspired his journey—his legendary father, Adebayo Salami, also known as Oga Bello. In a heartwarming video posted to Instagram, Femi, dressed in a white shirt and checkered jacket, is seen kneeling respectfully before his father while presenting the award. Adebayo Salami, visibly moved, showered him with deep prayers and blessings, thanking God 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.”
