Entertainment pundit, MC Yaa Yeboah has asked popular Kumawood actor Lil Win to dismiss his management team and bring in professionals to protect his brand.
According to Yeboah, many creatives in Ghana hire individuals based on personal relationships rather than professional qualifications.
“The reason why most of our artists are poorly managed is because, most of the time, their management team consists of people who like them and follow them. They do not invest in professionals to do the right thing. And that is why they get stressed when controversies arise.
“Then they get angry and accuse the media of being unprofessional when things don’t go their way. Instead of hiring professionals, they hire people they know. And most of the time, these people will speak out of emotions because they love you. They don’t think properly.”

MC Yaa accused the PRO of insensitivity and unprofessional behavior for shifting blame onto the child’s father and his defensive stance on social media.
“An accident occurred, and his PRO, in one of the releases, didn’t even acknowledge the child’s death until paragraph 4. He even concluded the statement by asking us to pray for Lil Win and his manager. What kind of disrespect is that? He later blamed the child’s father for placing the son in the front seat.
“The least he could have done was acknowledge the child’s death and offer condolences to the family. But he continues on social media saying things like we shouldn’t blame Lil Win and how such comments are distasteful and so on.”

She added that his actions as a PRO would tarnish Lil Win’s status as a movie star.
“No one is cautioning him; he keeps going on, thinking he is making sense. The things he is saying in the name of Lil Win are actually damaging to the actor’s reputation. And we are making excuses like ‘He can’t speak English’.
“Who allowed him to be a PRO if he can’t speak English? He should speak Twi. I know LilWin himself is wise; he has 5 kids, and he understands what it means to lose a child. He will never allow that guy to write and say those things.”

The entertainment pundit further urged Lil Win to replace his entire team and hire professionals to effectively manage his career and help him achieve his full potential.
Her comments come in the aftermath of a tragic accident involving Lil Win, which resulted in the death of a 3-year-old boy in May.
Blakk Rasta Chides Lil Win
Media personality and musician, Blakk Rasta, chided Lil Win, following an accident that resulted in the demise of 3-year-old Tawiah Ampomah.
He criticized Lil Win’s choice to attend a film premiere while other accident victims were seriously injured and hospitalized as inappropriate.
“Lil Win departed from the hospital and proceeded to his film premiere. Did he ascertain whether the boy was alive or not? According to the report, just a few hours after reaching the hospital, the boy passed away.
“Had it been Lil Win’s child, I believe he would have postponed the premiere, or at the very least, he wouldn’t have attended.”

Blakk Rasta expressed outrage over Lil Win’s handling of the young boy’s death, accusing him of failing to demonstrate sufficient commitment and concern in resolving the matter with the family.
“He showed no concern for the three-year-old. Subsequently, he attended church to give thanks for his own life. What about the boy’s life?
“Was he aware that the boy had passed when he went to church? Indeed, he was. Had it been Lil Win’s child, would he have acted so carelessly and indifferently? I am disappointed.”

Lil Win was arrested by police from the Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) of the Manhyia Divisional Police Command on Monday, June 3, 2024, after being released from the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital.
