In an interview with Plus 1 TV on September 25, 2026, Dr Likee addressed the speculation, stating that there was no problem between him and Kyekyeku. The interview was filmed in a relaxed, conversational style in the back of a car and was shared on TikTok, drawing attention from fans who had been watching the pair's increasingly distant public dynamic with growing curiosity.
Dr Likee noted that he had a lot of team members with whom he worked, and that he would not always work with Kyekyeku on his projects. He dismissed rumors of a beef with his protégé, stating that they regularly conversed on the phone. According to Dr Likee, he never calls any of his protégés to come on set and feature in his projects, as his channel was designed to introduce new faces in the acting scene and elevate their careers.
