448

A new fact has emerged as to the real reason why popular actor, Kunle Remi, was excluded by the African Magic Viewer’s Choice Award (AMVCA) despite playing a big role in Kunle Afolayan’s blockbuster movie, Anikulapo.

The actor, Per Seconds News reliably gathered, may have been snubbed by the board of jury following what an insider described as his ‘overbearing attitude’ and alleged disrespect for one a senior colleague.

He was said to have been excluded because he allegedly stepped on some powerful people’s toes in the industry following an interview he granted an online platform some weeks back where he alleged that a certain popular figure tried to lure him into homosexuality.

Per Seconds News also learned that many people were shocked that Remi was excluded while the same movie he featured in bagged 16 nominations.

It will be recalled that the actor reacted to his exclusion from the list of nominations, saying he was shocked by his fans’ reactions and love when they realized he didn’t make it.

The actor thanked his fans for their concerns and congratulated his friends and colleagues who received the AMVCA nomination.

Sharing a video of himself on his Instagram page, 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.

“First of all, congratulations to all my friends/colleagues this year won’t be great without y’all’s amazing work and effort. God save una,
cos if I Dey the categories I for win (Joke) before una say otherwise. Let the best man win ❤️ P.S- Please someone should check on deyemitheactor ”

“KR Kindred… you know how it is… we keep catching fun and doing fhingz. ❤️and many more fhingz”.
