Nollywood actor Kunle Remi recently addressed why he wasn’t nominated for the 9th Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA) in 2023.
The nominees for the coveted awards were announced by prominent TV personalities Bisola Aiyeola and Adjetey Anang. To many people’s shock, the actor’s name was noticeably absent from the list despite his excellent depiction of the character “Saro” in the film “Anikulapo,” which received an incredible 16 nominations.
