Support and accolades from fans and celebrities continue to pour in for Nigerian actress Funke Akindele following the outcome of the 2024 Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA), where her movie “A Tribe of Judah” failed to secure any wins despite multiple nominations.
Despite the film’s record-breaking success and nominations in categories like Best Movie and Best Lead Actress, it left the event without any awards.
Since Saturday night, this topic has ignited heated discussions among fans and peers on social media. Some tweets suggest that Funke Akindele was intentionally snubbed to get controversial talks, while others believe the outcome came from industry hate.
@smartser_1 “Funke Akindele and a tribe called Judah ignored today is same way king of boys was ignored. Every award year they get to ignore a major project just to get the controversial talks.”
