The content creator stepped out in a custom jacket featuring photographs of late Nigerian entertainment icons, including Onyeka Onwenu, Ayinla Omowura, Mohbad and Fela Kuti.
The design turned his premiere outfit into a tribute to entertainers whose work continues to influence Nigerian popular culture.

Kamo State had earlier shared his excitement about the premiere, telling his followers that his friends were about to watch Star Lomo for the first time.

A video from the event showed Awobona greeting the couple, with his interaction with Mo Bimpe appearing brief before he spent more time speaking with Lateef.
The moment attracted online attention because it came weeks after another video involving Awobona and Mo Bimpe had generated social-media discussion.
According to reporting on the latest incident, Awobona joked that he did not want to “trend for a week,” while Lateef responded humorously.
It is worth noting that the online discussion surrounding the moment is based largely on social-media reactions and the video itself, rather than any confirmed dispute between the entertainers.
Kamo State wants audiences to see him beyond skit-making
The Star Lomo premiere comes at a point when Kamo State has been speaking about his ambitions as an actor.

He has also previously worked with Funke Akindele, including an appearance in Everybody Loves Jenifa. In a recent interview, he recalled how their relationship began after Akindele noticed his content and later invited him to work on a film project.
That journey makes Star Lomo particularly significant for the entertainer, as he now moves into a larger role as both a lead actor and co-producer.
