He went on to express deep appreciation for the unwavering love and support of both his parents, acknowledging their sacrifices and prayers as the foundation of his success. With humility, he credited them for shaping his journey, stating he wouldn’t be where he is today without them.

"There are moments awards can’t measure—like this one. Humbled beyond words as my father, Alhaji Adebayo Salami @adebayo.salami and my dear mothers poured prayers over me today.

Seven Doors may have triumphed at #AMVCA2025, but the true foundation of everything I am… is right here.

Their sacrifices, their prayers, their love—without them, there is no me.

This win is ours."
