Ghanaian comic actor and producer Kwadwo Nkansah Lil Win has described his colleague Big Akwes as ‘a failed actor with no range’.

Big Akwes, also a Kumawood actor, recently criticised Lil Win for being too involved in the movies he produces. He said the upcoming movie about Ibrahim Traoré, the Last African Hero, should have cast someone else in the lead role.

Akwes said the movie producer should stop forcing himself into roles that did not suit him, as they made his movies unbearable to watch.

He also said aside from hogging all movie roles, the comic actor and producer also forced himself into almost every scene in his movies, even when it did not make narrative sense. Big Akwes cited the recent release of the Ibrahim Traoré movie trailer to support his claim.

Speaking via his Instagram handle on Tuesday, June 24, 2025, Lil Win addressed the allegations from his colleague.

He said Big Akwes was not someone to be listened to because he was a failed actor. The comic actor and producer also criticised his colleague’s range, claiming he could only play two roles in movies and nothing else.

“Who is Big Akwes? Is he an actor? He’s not an A-lister, B-lister, or even a C-lister. This gentleman cannot act any role other than an armed robber or a priest. He cannot portray a billionaire. He’s a nobody.”

He added that Big Akwes’s only way to remain relevant in the movie industry was to attack others because he lacked the talent to shine in movies.

Ghanaians shared differing opinions on the video of Lil Win replying to Big Akwes.

Lil Win Drops Snippet of Ibrahim Traoré Movie

The Ghanaian actor and filmmaker shared a snippet of one of the scenes of a movie project he was working on that was based on the life of Ibrahim Traoré, President of the Transition of Burkina Faso.

Lil Win on TikTok and his other social media pages shared a behind-the-scenes look at his upcoming movie, Ibrahim Traoré.

In the video he shared, he stormed a market with a truck, and he was accompanied by military men who were dressed in what looked like the official uniform of military personnel in the Burkina Faso army.

The moment he stormed the market, he received a rousing welcome from the traders who cheered and applauded him as he patrolled the streets in his truck.

The multiple award-winning movie producer and actor made hand gestures and acknowledged the cheers of the traders and fans.

Many people were taken aback by the moving nature of the scene in the upcoming movie produced by Lil Win and filmed by his movie production company.

Many of his fervent fans in the comment section expressed anticipation for the release of the movie.
