Nollywood actor Adeniyi Johnson has expressed disappointment and sadness after being suspended indefinitely from The African Men Entertainment Kings (AFRIMEK), led by Femi Adebayo.
Adeniyi Johnson’s membership in AFRIMEK has been terminated indefinitely due to gross misconduct and breach of the club’s constitution, forfeiting his right to identify as a member or participate in club activities.
“ADENIYI JOHNSON Is hereby suspended indefinitely from the club( AFRIMEK).
He has no right to portray himself as a member and estopped from the club activities.
This decision is borne out of their gross misconduct and breach of the club’s constitution”.
Adeniyi Johnson expressed disappointment and concern over the club’s public announcement, stating that while he respects the club, he existed before joining and the post could harm his reputation, family, and brand.
He initially wanted to ignore it, but due to numerous worried calls and messages, he addressed the issue, asking his loved ones and fans to remain calm and continue supporting him.
“It SADDENS MY HEART THAT MY HONOURABLE CLUB MADE SUCH A DEROGATIVE POST ABOUT ME!! PLEASE NOTE I AM NOT BIGGER THAN THE CLUB, BUT BEFORE THE CLUB THERE HAS BEEN ADENIYI JOHNSON IF CARE ISN’T TAKEN THAT POST WILL DO LOTS OF HARM THAN GOOD!

Sometime last year, AFRIMEK previously suspended member Shoneye Olamilekan (Papa Showw) for physically assaulting colleague Temidayo Morkinyo, condemning his actions as misrepresenting the club’s values.
The club, led by Femi Adebayo, distanced themselves from the incident and placed Papa Showw on immediate suspension. He later apologized sincerely in an interview, promising not to repeat the behavior.
