Fans React to Seyi Vodi's Video
Reacting to the video, many fans joined the fashion designer in celebrating RMD's birthday, praising the actor for his youthful appearance and wishing him continued good health and long life.

Others explained that the act reflected Yoruba culture and traditions, where showing respect through prostration is common, regardless of whether the age gap is significant.
