Kanayo O. Kanayo Surprises Son in the U.S., Sparks Emotional Reactions Online

Veteran Nollywood actor Kanayo O. Kanayo has warmed the hearts of fans across social media after sharing a heartfelt video of his surprise visit to his son, Montel, in the United States.

The emotional moment took place at Montel’s workplace in Maryland, where the young man was completely caught off guard by his father’s unannounced appearance. In the video, Montel immediately embraced Kanayo upon recognizing him, while onlookers—including his coworkers—watched the touching reunion with admiration.

Kanayo shared the video on his official Instagram account, accompanied by a caption that read:

“I paid a surprise visit to my son, Montel @sincerelymontel, at his workplace in Maryland. We hadn’t seen each other in about a year, and the rest is history. THE BOY IS GOOD. Thank you for the hug, boy.”

This visit follows the actor’s public display of support in 2023 when Montel gained admission to an American university. At the time, Kanayo prayed openly for his son to remain focused, avoid distractions like tattoos, and uphold the values he was raised with.
