Funke Akindele's fans claimed she was robbed at AMVCA

In other news, Legit.ng reported that the 2024 AMVCAs led to a heated discussion on social media over Funke Akindele’s failure to bag a plaque.

Many of Funke Akindele’s fans waited with bated breaths to hear her name being called for an award but that did not happen and this led to an outcry on social media.

Several of her fans stormed different social media platforms to claim that she was robbed of an award and was deliberately snubbed by the AMVCA organisers. This also led to netizens comparing her highest-grossing movie, A Tribe Called Judah to another film, Breath of Life, which swept most of the awards at the event.
