Popular Kumawood movie director who doubles as a producer, Famous, has caused a stir online.
The movie director disclosed why popular Ghanaian actresses and actors are not featured in Lil Win’s much-anticipated movie, “A country called Ghana”.
“There is no love among the actors and actresses in Ghana,” Famous revealed.
He noted that the actor cum musician has been producing his movies for the past five years, however, most of his colleagues, mentioning names like McBrown, Akrobeto, Emelia Brobbey, and Kwaku Manu, just to mention a few have not been featured in any of Lil Win’s produced movies.
Revealing why the aforementioned personalities were not casts in Lil Win’s movies, director Famous noted that they hate the popular comic actor.
Director Famous did not state precisely why the aforementioned personalities hate their colleague, however, he revealed that there have been instances where Lil Win contacted them to feature them, but, they refused.
“If Ghanaians want to progress in this industry, they should learn to put some attitudes behind them,” he noted.
Also, he brought up what transpired between Kumawood actor Kwadwo Nkansah Lil Win and Ghallywood actor, Van Vicker before the shooting of the movie.
“I was talking to Kojo Nkansah (Lil Win) when he called his colleague, Van Vicker but he did not shoot the movie for reasons best known to him. The role Van Vicker was to play is what Ramsey Nouah is playing now. Lil Win wanted to use his movie to promote Ghana, however, his Ghanaian people disappointed him so he had to look elsewhere, the reason why he had to fly some Nigerian actors to make the movie a great one.”
Director Famous
Director Famous claims the Kumawood actor had no plans to fly Nigerian actor Ramsey Noah to Ghana, while there are equally some good Ghanaian actors and actresses around.
Martha Ankomah Reveals Why She Sued Lil Win
Ghanaian actress, Martha Ankomah finally opened up about her reasons for suing colleague actor, Lil Win after the latter launched a scathing attack on her for no tangible reason.
Addressing the issue verbally for the very first time, the actress revealed that forgiving Lil Win would be the last thing she would ever do.
Defending her lawsuit, she said, “I have not withdrawn the suit, I believe the rule of law works in this country.”
According to her, the lawsuit was to set an example for the younger generation, so they do not develop the perception that they could say anything about others without consequences.
“So I don’t think you can insult anyone and go scot-free. If we say we are role models, people must learn from us so we have to set good examples. So I took it to court. Please it’s not a joke because it takes years to build a brand. If the court doesn’t teach him a lesson, it will be a very bad example that may encourage the next generation to just say anything about people.”
Martha Ankomah
It can be recalled Lil Win alleged that Martha Ankomah expressed disdain towards Kumawood actors, claiming that Kumawood lacked quality storylines, hence, a reason for her refusal to work with them.
“Martha, those who are richer than you are rather humble and respect themselves a lot. Do you honestly call yourself a star? Who knows you? What do you have? I don’t even know why GTP bypassed the likes of McBrown, Mercy Asiedu, and co, and made Martha Ankomah their Brand Ambassador. The likes of Van Vicker, Roselyn Ngissah, and co, do not do these things. They even work with us. They shoot Kumawood movies. I’m still amazed that you made such statements, were you drunk?”
Lil Win
He further emphasized that Patience Ozorkwor came to Kumasi to shoot a movie, stating that Aki and Pawpaw, among others, came down to Ghana to shoot a movie.
These comments do not sit well with Martha, hence, her decision to drag Lil Win to court.
Though the latter rode on Johnson Asiedu Nketia’s viral comment that ‘any idiot can go to court,’ to insinuate he is unfazed by the lawsuit, Martha says the rule of law must work.
Asked if she could be convinced to withdraw the lawsuit and let sleeping dogs lie, she refused, saying “That would be for the court to decide.”
