Ghanaian actor and filmmaker Kwadwo Nkansah, popularly known as Lil Win, has sparked controversy with his recent comments on the Ghanaian movie industry. In an interview with bloggers in Ghana, Lil Win explained that he prefers working with Nigerian actors for his latest movie project, A Journey to Africa (Nzulezu), due to their responsiveness and professionalism. He claims that Nigerian actors respond quickly to scripts and work opportunities, while some Ghanaian actors can take much longer to respond or may not answer his calls.
Lil Win's comments have been making rounds on social media, with many Ghanaians reacting to his statements about the professionalism of Ghanaian actors. According to Lil Win, Nigerian actors take only one day to read his script and sign contracts, while Ghanaian actors do not even answer simple calls. He also stated that he does not want to beg actors to work on his projects, and that the Nigerian stars bring a wider fan base that could help his international movie projects reach more viewers.
The movie, A Journey to Africa (Nzulezu), is Lil Win's second international project, following A Country Called Ghana, which also featured Nigerian actors. Nollywood stars, including Kanayo O. Kanayo, Patience Ozokwor, Mike Ezuruonye, Zubby Michael, and Destiny Etiko, arrived in Ghana on September 30 to join the production. The project aims to bring fresh energy to Ghana's movie industry and help expose local productions to a wider audience.
Lil Win's decision to work with Nigerian actors has been met with mixed reactions from the Ghanaian public. While some agree with his assessment of the professionalism of Ghanaian actors, others have expressed disappointment and concern about the impact of his comments on the Ghanaian movie industry. The industry has faced criticism in the past for its lack of professionalism and communication.
A Journey to Africa (Nzulezu) is being produced under Lil Win's banner, and the project has generated significant interest among movie fans in Ghana and beyond. The movie is expected to feature a mix of Ghanaian and Nigerian actors, and Lil Win hopes that it will help to promote cultural exchange and understanding between the two countries.
Lil Win's comments have also sparked a wider conversation about the state of the Ghanaian movie industry and the need for improvement in terms of professionalism and communication. Some have called for Ghanaian actors to take Lil Win's comments seriously and to work on improving their responsiveness and work ethic. Others have expressed concern about the potential impact of Lil Win's comments on the careers of Ghanaian actors.
The movie project is set to begin soon, with filming scheduled to take place in Ghana.
