Nollywood icon Omotola Jalade Ekeinde recently took to Instagram to humorously share her thoughts on her youngest son, Michael Ekeinde’s taste in music. In a lighthearted video post, Omotola captured her son singing along to a song as they headed to the gym together. Reflecting on the experience, the actress jokingly remarked about feeling “trapped” by the music playing in the car.
So I decided to go to the gym with these adult children! Never felt more trapped in my life! @michael_ekeinde,” she wrote. Omotola further commented on how baffling some modern music seems to her, adding that many fans found her post funny, perhaps enjoying her playful “torture.”
Omotola isn’t the only Nollywood star opening up about parenting. Mercy Johnson recently shared her own challenges with her teenage daughter, Purity, who humorously accused her mom of “killing her social life” by insisting she star in her videos. Similarly, actress and filmmaker Mary Njoku shared a hilarious interaction where her daughter teased her for not enjoying lavish things during her youth, while also marveling at her mother’s ability to raise eight children with sanity intact.
These candid glimpses into the lives of Nollywood stars resonate with fans, showing the universal challenges of parenting. For Omotola, the moment with Michael is just another reminder of the joy and surprises of raising children—even as they grow into independent adults.
When Michael turned 21 last year, Omotola described him as a “cool, shy, happy kiddo” while showering him with prayers and love. Her dedication to her children and her ability to find humor in everyday moments continue to endear her to fans.
