Kumawood actor Lil Win has expressed his displeasure at Ghanaian television stations showing his movies without his consent.
Lil Win on Instagram shared a video he found on TikTok of one of his fans claiming that they were enjoying his 2024 released movie, ‘A Country Called Ghana’, in the comfort of their home.
The fan mentioned that a television station was showing the movie, and he was enjoying it for free, despite the movie being available to stream on Amazon Prime.
The seasoned actor in the caption of the Instagram post called out the television station for showing his movie for free while others were paying to watch it on Amazon Prime.
“STOP PIRATING OUR MOVIES…This Person Watching This Movie Didn’t Buy It To Watch On ‘AMAZON PRIME’ But Watching It Free On A Ghana TV Station…”

In his powerful message to the local television station, he mentioned that he should not be blamed if he were to take the legal route.
“Don’t Blame LILWIN If He Takes This TV Stations Or This Person To Court…Enough Is Enough….My Name Is FRANK FIIFI GHARBIN, DIRECTOR Of ‘A COUNTRY CALLED GHANA’…. “

Lil Win concluded his message by saying that finding the video on TikTok on a fan’s account broke his heart. “This Breaks My Heart ❤️, I’m SAD 😢 Seeing My Movie Being PIRATED,” he said.
One person justified the actions of the television station for showing Lil Win’s movie without authorization.
Others urged the Kumawood actor to sue the television station while talking about the effort and hard work that went into making the movie and promoting it.
“The movie dey telegram sef ..chill house😂.”

“I have no problem with what I read in the caption, buh my problem is, what if the station also bought it on Amazon to show it to gain more audience for their station,…..just as I would buy it and watch with my friend on a laptop to show them how good your movie and Ideas are, won’t it promote you as well? Plus, how do you want our older mothers, fathers, and grandparents who don’t know much about technology, even as to select a contact on their phone, get access to the joy you show in your movies too?
“Same time, the person being promoted here is you Kwadwo and that’s the brighter side we should focus on, 95% of both foreign and local movies get pirated on that doesn’t mean, for example Ryan Coogler the producer of ‘Sinners’ couldn’t make profit from that movie, you see let’s be thinking about these stuff and look at them from a brighter side 🤔.”
