Lilwin descends on Martha Ankomah for disrespecting Kumawood industry 

Ghanaian movie star Kwadwo Nkansah, popularly known as Lilwin, has criticised Martha Ankomah, an actress in the industry, for disrespecting Kumawood.

Lilwin claims that Martha Ankomah told director Frank Fiifi Garbin that Kumawood doesn’t produce any sensible movies; hence, she will never work with the Kumasi-based stars after she was approached for a gig.

It will be recalled that in 2017, Martha Ankomah, in an interview with Hitz FM and later appearing on Accra FM in 2023, devalued the storyline of recent Kumawood movies, comparing them with the Agya Koo’s era.

“I love Kumawood movies but what I dislike about their movies is the fetish stuff they inculcate into them.

“Apart from that, I love their storylines, and they used to have really good movies like ‘Kumasi y)nko)’ but of late, most of their movies portray witchcraft, and that does not motivate me to shoot with them,” she noted.

Lilwin, in replying to the actress, said, “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 passed 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?”.

He added that, “Patience Ozorkwor came to Kumasi to shoot a movie. Aki and Pawpaw, Mr. Ibu and the rest came down to shoot a movie here. But for people like you, who call yourselves refined actors, how many times do these Nigerians come to Ghana to shoot movies? They are the ones who rather send for you guys”.
