Nollywood actor, Kunle Remi, has reacted to the controversies surrounding his nomination and outfit snub by Africa Magic Viewers Choice Awards, AMVCA 2023.
The rebuff of Remi, the lead actor in Anikulapo, from the 9th edition of Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards, however, didn’t sit well with his fans and netizens.
Recall that Remi was omitted from the list of nominees for the prestigious prizes despite his significance in ‘Anikulapo’, this epic drama received 16 AMVCA nominations.
However, the central character, Kunle Remi, who drew many viewers to the film, was not among them.
Remi had discussed his omission from the awards in an interview with ‘Your View TVC’ few weeks back.
He said, “for me it doesn’t reduce my value, it doesn’t make me feel less of a person.
Remi continued that, he remains unaffected by the snub, because his role as ‘Saro’ was accepted as a challenge rather than an award, “I didn’t do that because of the award, I did that because of the challenge and it was such a privilege to play that character ‘Saro’.
He added that, “people will not forget ‘Saro’, I think that is the greatest award”.
Meanwhile, aside from the controversy surrounding his nomination snub, Remi has been making headlines for his AMVCA outfit.
Remi shared photos of how he dressed for the event on Instagram, saying, “I showed up to the AMVCA as KUNLE REMI in …”
He wore a green two-piece suit with black lapels and a matching black shirt, spiced with black boots and sunglasses.
