Kunle Remi has clarified that his recent social media comment comparing the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA) to the Academy Awards (Oscars) was made in jest, following widespread reactions online
Recalled that Kunle Remi had shared a video from the 2026 Academy Awards (Oscars), where Michael B. Jordan was seen having his award engraved shortly after his win.
In his initial reaction, Remi suggested that winners at the AMVCA do not receive their plaques immediately, a claim that quickly gained traction across multiple media platforms.
However, in a follow-up video posted shortly after, the actor dismissed the comparison as a joke, noting that he is aware of how the AMVCA award process works.
“I was just messing around, and it was all a joke,” Remi said, adding that people had taken the remark more seriously than intended.
He reaffirmed his respect for the platform, describing the AMVCA as the only African awards show comparable to the Oscars.
“AMVCA is the only African show you can even compare to the Oscars,” he added.
