Nollywood actor, Kunle Remi, has talked about being left out of the Africa Magic Viewers Choice Awards (AMVCA) 2023 nominations despite his lead role ‘Saro’ in the critically acclaimed movie, Anikulapo.
During the 2023 edition of the prestigious AMVCA awards event. Anikulapo received a total of 16 nominations in 15 different categories of which Kunle made none.
Speaking about the matter during an interview on the TV show ‘Your View’ the actor said that the snub did not affect his fame or value.
Kunle stated:
“fall into the category of the none nominated artists, it is a new category. It is not my show, its their show. I like the fact that the world spoke, people spoke but we can’t have the answers to that, only them have the answers. But for me it doesn’t reduce my value, it doesn’t make me less of a screen God.
Anikulapo which is what people were expecting still broke the record it broke, still number one watched language film next to Squid Game globally. I put in the work, I saw the efforts and I didn’t do that because of the award, I did it because it was a challenge and it is such a privilege to play that character and we would never forget Saro, I think that’s the greatest award.”
