“Those Richer Than You Are Humble, You’re Not a Star – Lil Win Fires Back at Martha Ankomah

Written by Matilda Owusu

Kumawood actor Kwadwo Nkansah Lil Win has found himself at the center of controversy once again, this time taking aim at fellow actress Martha Ankomah. The feud erupted following Ankomah’s purported remarks disparaging local movie productions, sparking a fiery response from Lil Win.

According to reports, Martha Ankomah allegedly made derogatory comments about Kumawood movies, labeling them as senseless and vowing to steer clear of future projects within the industry. Her remarks did not sit well with Lil Win, who wasted no time in launching a scathing attack against his colleague.

In an explosive video that quickly circulated online, Lil Win accused Ankomah of disrespecting the hard work and dedication of Kumawood filmmakers. He went on to suggest that Ankomah’s alleged disdain for local productions stemmed from her association with affluent individuals who purportedly sponsored her career.

“Lil Win’s insults follow after Martha Ankomah allegedly described Kumawood movies as senseless,” reported sources revealed. “Martha Ankomah has sworn to never cast in Kumawood movies because they lack substance.”

The actor’s remarks have reignited discussions about the dynamics within the Ghanaian film industry, particularly regarding perceptions of quality and artistic integrity. While Kumawood productions have long been celebrated for their entertainment value and grassroots appeal, they have also faced criticism for their perceived lack of depth and technical polish.

However, Lil Win’s impassioned defense of Kumawood serves as a reminder of the industry’s resilience and the importance of supporting local talent. His assertion that Ankomah’s alleged disparagement is fueled by her connections to wealthier benefactors underscores broader issues of class and privilege within the entertainment world.

In response to the escalating feud, fans and industry insiders have taken to social media to express their opinions, with opinions divided on both sides. Some have praised Lil Win for standing up for Kumawood and defending the contributions of local filmmakers, while others have criticized his confrontational approach and called for a more constructive dialogue.

As the controversy continues to unfold, it remains to be seen whether Lil Win and Martha Ankomah will reconcile their differences or if their feud will escalate further. In the meantime, the incident serves as a stark reminder of the complexities and tensions inherent within the Ghanaian film industry, highlighting the ongoing struggle for recognition, respect, and artistic autonomy.
