My speech will come later.” See below;

In a lengthy note, she wrote; “Actor Kunle Remi was snubbed in the AMVCA Nominations despite a stellar performance in the Kunle Afolayan movie. Why? Alleged ‘disrespect’ for a senior colleague. He was said to have been excluded because he allegedly stepped on some 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. Shame that the same movie bagged 16 nominations and he didn’t get one. That’s the Nigerian movie industry for you. I WILL NAME THAT SENIOR COLLEAGUE WHEN I RETURN TO YOUTUBE THIS WEEK AFTER A 6 MONTH REBRANDING BREAK”
