There is simmering tension between two
renowned Kumasi based actors Kwaku Manu and
Kwadjo Nkansah a.k.a Lil Win.
The two, who used to be close friends and starred
in several movies together, seem to be fighting
for supremacy and relevance on the silver screen.
Kwaku Manu also known as “Wo ye me taste!”
who just returned from a long trip abroad, has
granted a number of interviews throwing several
accusations at funny actor Lil Win.
According to Kwaku Manu, his colleague Lil Win’s
attitude has changed towards him on his return
from abroad. He claims Lil Win as distanced
himself from him and that he is definitely not the
Kwadjo Nkansah he knew some years back.
Kwaku alleged that for some time now, he had
observed that Lil Win has refused to star in any
movie in which he Kwaku Manu is involved in
citing that as the reason why Ghanaian movie
lovers do not see them together in movies
anymore.
Kwaku made a shocking revelation that Lil Win is
being ill-advised that he (Kwaku Manu) is using
‘juju’ on Lil Win so he should stay away from him,
and he believes that is the reason why Lil Win has
decided not to star in the same movie with him.
In an interview with Peacefmonline.com, he
denied using any ‘juju’ on Lil Win stating however,
that Lil Win is making it difficult for him to
communicate with him because for some time
now, he (Lil Win) has refused to answer his calls.
“I don’t have any problem with Lil Win or
anybody in this industry. He is my junior brother
and I played a major part in the beginning when
he started acting and we have been in so many
movies together. I think some people are
corrupting his mind with false information about
me but I wonder where those people advising
him against me now were in the beginning, when
he started acting”.
Lil Win reacts...
Reacting to these allegations for the first time, Lil
Win, in an exclusive interview on Neat 100.9 FM’s
“Entertainment Ghana show”, dismissed all those
allegations, stating that it’s all attempts by some
people to destroy his hard-earned reputation and
his friendship with Kwaku Manu.
Lil Win laughed off the allegations, saying “I have
no problem at all with my brother Kwaku Manu. I
don’t know if he has a problem with me. It will be
very sad for our fans to hear that Lil Win and
Kwaku Manu are not on talking terms, but that
will never happen. In this world, when you want
to listen to what people are saying, you may end
up not talking to your own friends and even your
family members”.
On the issue of ‘juju’, Lil Win said he also heard
that Kwaku Manu was going round saying he (Lil
Win) was using ‘juju’ against him, that is the
reason why he is not being cast in movies
anymore.
“I don’t use juju. It is God who has made me who
I am now, and I depend on God in all things. I
have no problem whatsoever with Kwaku Manu.”
Lil Win said he confronted Kwaku Manu when he
mentioned the issue of ‘juju’, and he accepted
and apologized. “When I heard the rumors that
he (Kwaku Manu) claims I was using juju on him,
I asked him why he said that and he apologized
and admitted that he said that, out of anger and
frustration because we don't seem to be as close
a unit as before, and that he wanted us to be
back together again as good friends”.
Lil Win further stated that its possible he might
have failed to respond to Kwaku Manu's calls
because he (Lil Win) did not know his (Kwaku
Manu's) new number, but he is not deliberately
avoiding him as being alleged.
“Maybe when he called me, I didn’t know it was
his number. I have not said anywhere that I will
not act with him. It is the producers who decide
who they want to cast in their movies”.
Asked if he would star in the same movie with
Kwaku Manu, Lil Win said “If a producer casts me
and my brother Kwaku Manu in the same movie
even today, I am ready, for all those who think
we are fighting to know that there is no problem
between us.
Lil Win said, nothing would make him disrespect
his senior brothers Agya Koo and Kwaku Manu, or
anybody in the movie industry.
