Nollywood actress, Biola Bayo has thrown an important question to the organisers of the Africa Magic Viewers Choice Awards.
Biola Bayo questioned why Falz, who also played a major role in Brotherhood wasn’t nominated for an award, yet his co-star Tobi Bakre got nominated.
She also noted how Kunle Remi wasn’t also nominated at the just concluded award.
Biola Bayo stated that she was only being a concerned actor and wasn’t trying to be disrespectful.
“My opinion, please. There are 2 major actors that played the lead role in “Brotherhood” (Police & Criminal). Please why is Tobi Bakre nominated and Falz wasn’t nominated at all just as Kunle Remi wasn’t nominated? Note; I’m not talking about winning the award, I’m talking about getting nominated in the first place”.
“I’m just asking respectfully…. You people no say I no dey put mouth for wetin no concern me. I’m just a concerned actor”.
Kunle Remi finally speaks on AMVCA snub
Recall that actor, Kunle Remi was snubbed from the nominations list of the prestigious awards despite his undeniable role in Kunle Afolayan’s epic drama, Anikulapo, which earned 16 nominations.
Anikulapo bagged 16 nominations from AMVCA, while the lead actor, Kunle Remi, whose role geared many to watch the movie, was not part of the 16 nominations.
Speaking in an interview, Your View, Kunle Remi aired his opinion about his snub from the award. According to him, AMVCA does not belong to him nor does he host the show. He claimed his snub has no way reduced him, his stylishness, fame, or energy.
Kunle Remi claimed he was unshaken by the snub because his role as ‘Saro’ was not taken because of an award, but rather because of a challenge.
Many had concluded that Kunle Remi’s snub was a result of an interview he granted where he spoke about a senior colleague trying to lure him into homosexuality.
