Big Akwes calls out 'forced' Lil Win
Big Akwes, also a Kumawood actor, recently criticised Lil Win for being too involved in the movies he produces.
He said the upcoming movie about Ibrahim Traore, the Last African Hero, should have cast someone else in the lead role.
Akwes said the movie producer should stop forcing himself into roles that did not suit him, as they made his movies unbearable to watch.
“In the movie, you played the role of the president. Meanwhile, the president's role doesn't suit you. There was someone who would fit better in that role, but he will never consider the person," Big Akwes said.
He also said aside from hogging all movie roles, Lil Win also forced himself into almost every scene in his movies, even when it did not make narrative sense.
Big Akwes cited the recent release of the Ibrahim Traore movie trailer to support his claim.
"In the trailer, you can see that he's in almost all the scenes. He wants to do it all. Doing that can make people get bored with the movie. We need to tell him the truth." he added.

Lil Win also criticised his colleague's range, claiming he could only play two roles in movies and nothing else.
"Who is Big Akwes? Is he an actor? He's not an A-lister, B-lister, or even a C-lister. This gentleman cannot act any role other than an armed robber or a priest. He cannot portray a billionaire. He’s a nobody,” he said.
He added that Big Akwes’s only way to remain relevant in the movie industry was to attack others because he lacked the talent to shine in movies.
