#AMVCA7: Here’s What People Are Saying about “King of Boys” Getting Snubbed

The much-anticipated awards show Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA) is over, but people will continue to talk about it for a while.

One thing that’s being discussed is that the epic “King of Boys” got denied an award.

It came as a surprise to many that Kemi Adetiba‘s “King of Boys” which starred Sola Sobowale, Toni Tones, Illbliss, Akin Lewis, Reminisce, Adesua Etomi-Wellington, and many others, got snubbed at the award event.

“King of Boys” also got multiple nominations, yet won no award for its outstanding cast and crew.

Here’s what people are saying:

Did 'King Of Boys' or Shola Sobowale just miss out of winning an award tonight? This is robbery in public.#AMVCA7 #AMVCA2020 #AMVCA pic.twitter.com/gGHbxaMZfH

King of Boys wasn’t eligible this year? Did it win last year?

— JJ. Omojuwa (@Omojuwa) March 14, 2020

I wasted my fuel to watch #AMVCA7 and King of Boys didn't win anything. This is a conspiracy.
I've watched most of the movies that won, King of Boys is better than most of them.

With that unreal performance by Sola Sobowale, Reminisce and all the actors in King Of Boys, the movie didn't win #AMVCA7 #AMVCA?, looking like there's a lowkey beef somewhere. Anyway congrats to Funke Akindele, I'm so happy for her.

King of Boys not winning?
I laugh in politics.

It’s about time Kemi Adetiba get to know these people don’t really like her. This beef is so glaring , King Of Boys deserves at least an award.
