New information has surfaced on why popular actor Kunle Remi was excluded from the African Magic Viewers Choice Award (AMVCA) nominations despite playing a significant role in Kunle Afolayan’s movie, Anikulapo.
According to an insider, Remi was allegedly excluded by the board of jurors for disrespecting a senior colleague in the industry.
This was due to an interview he granted where he alleged that a certain popular figure tried to lure him into homosexuality. Many people were surprised that Remi was excluded while the same movie he featured in received 16 nominations.
When Remi learned of his exclusion from the nominations, he expressed his shock and thanked his fans for their concerns.
He also congratulated his friends and colleagues who received AMVCA nominations.
In a video posted on his Instagram page, he appreciated the love, calls, and messages, saying that the year wouldn’t have been great without them and their amazing work and effort.
“I have seen all the tags after the AMVCA nomination announcement. It would be nonchalant not to appreciate the love, calls and messages. Thank you kindred.
“First of all, congratulations to all my friends/colleagues, this year won’t be great without you all and the amazing work and effort. God save you.”
