Ghanaian singer Cina Soul has talked about the repeated on-air attacks by actor Big Akwes, describing the ordeal as deeply personal and emotionally draining rather than a blow to her music career.
In an interview with Doreen Avio on Hitz FM, the vocalist explained that the abuse tested her resilience away from the stage. She said that prayer became her anchor in navigating the trauma.
“I don’t think it affected as an artiste, it affected me as a person, a woman, someone’s child and a Christian. The number 1 thing I had to do was to pray,” she said.
While she has grown somewhat used to the insults, Cina Soul admitted that her family was shaken by the severity of Akwes’ words.
“Because it had not been the first time, it was the second time seeing that, the words and the gravity of the description was scary and I think it scared my family even more,” she added.
The dispute traces back to April 2025, when Big Akwes harshly criticized her outfits in a promotional dance video for her album Did I Lie? He branded her appearance “attention-seeking” and engaged in body-shaming, a move that triggered widespread outrage.
Although Max TV issued a formal apology to the singer, Akwes refused to back down, urging viewers to “re-analyse” his remarks instead of apologizing.
By July 2025, matters escalated during a live TV segment where he launched into another round of insults, this time laced with explicit threats. Online audiences widely condemned his comments as reckless and dangerous.
During a “Kiss, Marry and Kill” game, he stated that he would marry actress Vivian Jill and “kill Cina Soul.” He even went on to describe in disturbing detail how he would supposedly summon her with a magic mirror, stab her, and drink her blood.
The singer said the remarks left her “deeply unsettled.” Turning to social media, she tagged both the Ghana Police Service and the Ministry of Communications, demanding urgent intervention. For the first time, she admitted that the threats felt alarmingly real and that she was genuinely fearful for her safety.
