The popular Yoruba film actor Femi Adebayo’s hit movie King of Thieves has bagged 8 nominations for the 9th edition of the AMVCA.

For this year’s competition, the movie producer has received eight nominations.

His film King of Thieves received nine nominations for best director, best actor, best art director, best writer, best picture editor, best makeup, best soundtrack, and best overall movie.

Femi Adebayo praised the cast, crew, and himself on Instagram after sharing the wonderful news.

Oh, my heart is overflowing with pure, unadulterated joy! This moment is something I have dreamt of for as long as I can remember. It has been my heart’s desire to create a film that showcases our beautiful and diverse African culture.
And now, that dream has become a REALITY!
When I first set out to produce #KingOfThievesMovie, I was met with ridicule and disbelief. People told me to my face that I was foolish for investing so much money in a Yoruba movie. But, I knew that my vision was far greater than their doubts.
And now, oh my goodness, it has broken records and has become an incredible success at the box office!
And now it has been nominated for a whopping 8 awards at #AMVCA! My mind cannot even comprehend the magnitude of what is happening right now.
I am so grateful to my amazing cast and crew who worked tirelessly to bring this project to life. The challenges we faced were not easy, but their dedication and commitment never faltered. I urge you to watch the behind the scenes video of #KOT on my YouTube channel to see just how hard we worked.
Thank you to #AMVCA for shining a spotlight on us and for recognizing our hard work, and most importantly, God for making this all possible.
This journey has been incredible, and I can’t wait to see what @_Euphoria360 has in store for us next.
Trust me, you won’t want to miss it!
WATCH OUT!

Kesiena Tony Adjekpovu, popularly known as Kess, has said that participating in Big Brother Naija can make life harder, offering a candid reflection on the challenges that may come with the reality television experience.

The former Big Brother Naija housemate made the comment in a statement shared on social media, where he suggested that winning or simply taking part in the reality show does not necessarily make life easier after leaving the house.

“Big Brother makes your life harder,” Kess said.

The remark has drawn attention because life after reality television can bring a different set of expectations, particularly as former housemates adjust to increased public attention and the pressure that can accompany visibility.

Kess was a housemate on the seventh season of Big Brother Naija, which aired in 2022. He entered the show as a businessman and was among the contestants who competed for the season’s grand prize.

His time on the programme also placed him in the public eye, giving viewers an opportunity to follow his personality and relationships inside the house.

Kess’s latest comment offers a more reflective view of the reality TV platform, suggesting that the experience does not end when a contestant leaves the house.

However, he did not provide further details in the available post explaining which specific aspects of life after Big Brother he was referring to.
