May 18, (THEWILL)- Nigerian singer, Kingsley Okonkwo, aka KCee and his brother, Emeka Okonkwo, also known as E-Money, have stepped forward to support the family of late Nollywood actor, John Odonwodo, aka Junior Pope.
At the late actor’s funeral on Friday, in Ukehe, Nsukka, Enugu State, Kcee made a heartfelt pledge to the family. He expressed condolences and acknowledged Junior Pope’s impact in the entertainment industry.
“He is somebody that we will never forget in this generation,” Kcee said.
The emotional bond extended beyond the professional sphere. Kcee revealed that E-Money is the godfather of Junior Pope’s first son. This close friendship led the brothers to make a significant commitment.
“When the unfortunate incident happened, my brother said to me that we were going to take up responsibility for his three sons till they were grown,” Kcee shared.
Kcee emphasised that their support goes beyond financial assistance. They aim to provide for the children’s education, basic needs, and even holidays. Importantly, they want to honour Junior Pope’s desire for a secure future for his children.
