Nollywood actor, Kunle Remi, has spoken up after being excluded from the nominations for the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards 2023, despite his lead role in the movie ‘Anikulapo,’ which received 16 nominations including best overall movie, best director, best actress, best-supporting actress, best-supporting actor amongst others, but not Best Actor in a drama.
The actor took to his Instagram page to share a video, thanking his fans for their concerns and congratulating his friends and colleagues who received nominations for the AMVCA. He wrote, “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.”
In the same post, he also joked about winning if he had been included in the categories, but stated that he wishes the best for all the nominees. He ended the post by asking someone to check on his colleague, Deyemi the Actor.
Kunle Remi’s fans and other movie critics have expressed their disappointment in the actor’s exclusion from the nominations, with some taking to social media to voice their concerns.
The Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards will return for a 9th run on May 20, 2023.
