Nollywood actor, Kunle Remi has reacted to his absence from the nomination list for the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA) 2023.
Although Remi played the leading role in the epic film ‘Anikulapo’ which got 16 nominations, the actor got none.

“(Joke) before una say otherwise. Let the best man win.”
