Ghanaian actor, Kwadwo Nkansah, popularly known as Lilwin, has disclosed that it was Daddy Lumba’s song “Yentie Obiaa” that gave him the strength to endure one of the toughest storms in his career, allegations that he relied on money rituals to boost his success.
During an interview with Graphic Showbiz, the actor explained that the song’s call to remain resilient and undistracted kept him focused when the controversy threatened to overshadow the premiere of his film “Ibrahim Traore” earlier this year.
The dispute that ignited the scandal stemmed from gospel artiste Diana Asamoah, who launched an attack on Lilwin’s spiritual father, Prophet Adom Kyei-Duah, calling him a “fake man of God.”
Lilwin responded with harsh words, branding her “stupid” and questioning her gender. The feud escalated when Asamoah countered with explosive claims that he engaged in human sacrifice to promote his movies.
“The accusations hurt me very much, but they made me stronger because anytime I listened to Daddy Lumba’s ‘Yentie Obiaa’, I was motivated to remain focused. I went on with the premiere and it was successful,” Lilwin said.
Despite the bitter exchange and online trolling, the film’s debut proved a triumph. The event drew dignitaries such as Burkina Faso’s Ambassador to Ghana, H.E. David Kabre, who attended with a military delegation, alongside Ashanti Regional Minister Dr. Frank Amoakohene, top business executives, and colleagues from the movie industry, including Vivian Jill, Dr. Likee, Kyekyeku, and musician Kweku Flick.
