A few days into the movie shoot with his colleagues on set, Lil Win claimed that a respected leader offered him money as an incentive to halt production and stop him from releasing Ibrahim Traore's biopic.
On Thursday, May 29, 2025, the comic actor announced that he had halted the movie shoot after a group of masked men stormed the movie set with multiple motorcycles in the afternoon.
They claimed that the unidentified men confronted him and his film crew and warned them to stop filming. He said they also caused damage to some equipment.

"Was the video captured with a Motorola? These guys still think we are in the Kumawood era."

"He didn't take long to even shoot, and that's a reason why the thriller isn't up there. Invest in cameras, get good editors for quality effects because this is wack, and get good writers because it's half-baked. It is not by force to be a lead actor because you're the executive producer!"

"I thought Kumawood folks were done with this style of acting. At least a little AI would have helped. With a $500k budget for this movie, as he claimed, I think he could have done better."
