Ghanaian actor, Lil Win, has heightened the anticipation for his upcoming film on Ibrahim Traoré, the Last African Hero.

The last African Hero follows the story of Captain Ibrahim Traoré, Burkina Faso’s military ruler, who ousted President Paul-Henri Sandaogo Damiba in a September 2022 coup.

The 37-year-old military ruler, who is currently the second-youngest head of state in the world, has garnered significant traction across the continent.

Celebrities like Sarkodie are among several other celebrities who have publicly praised Ibrahim Traoré, mainly because of his pan-African achievements.

His tenure so far has seen Burkina Faso sever ties with its former colonial power, France, and contributed to founding the Alliance of Sahel States – a confederation formed with Mali and Niger.

While fans continue to count down to Lil Win’s project, the Kumawood actor has shared the conditions fans must satisfy before the release. “When I release the trailer, I need a million views in 24 hours, else no one will see the movie,” he stated.

Lil Win’s condition for fans stirred reactions online.

Lil Win Imitates Chairman Wontumi

The seasoned Ghanaian actor caused a stir online when he imitated Ashanti Regional Chairman for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, when a viral audio of him being distraught on a call surfaced online.

Lil Win took to his social media pages to share a video of him reacting to the viral audio of a distraught Chairman Wontumi crying out for help from Ghanaians.

In Lil Win’s video, he jokingly cried out for help and acted distraught over concerns surrounding his latest movie about the President of the Transition of Burkina Faso, Ibrahim Traoré.

The seasoned Kumawood actor noted that just because he had planned to create a movie about the Burkinabé military officer and politician did not mean he should be scrutinised.

He pleaded with his fans to rise and stand up for him amid the backlash he was receiving regarding the movie.

“One movie I am shooting, people have so many things to say about it. Wezzy fans rise up. It is because of you that I am being treated this way. So rise up.”

In the concluding parts of the video, Lil Win urged his fans and all Ghanaians to watch the movie when it is released. “Eventually, if you do not watch it when it is released, God will pay you,” he said.

Lil Win’s video got many people laughing hard and admiring his sense of humour as they hailed him in the comment section.

Others also hinted that the Kumawood actor may be writing a movie script based on Chairman Wontumi’s ordeal with EOCO officials and the Mahama-led government.
