Ghanaian actor, Prince David Osei has opened up about a conversation he had with his colleague, Kwadwo Nkansah popularly known as LilWin concerning the latter's issue with Martha Ankomah.

According to his narration, he had an encounter with LilWin moments after the video of the Kumasi-based actor hurling insults at Martha Ankomah went viral on social media.

He stated that during the encounter, he rebuked LilWin for his uncouth actions towards Martha Ankomah. He added that the Kumawood actor consequently showed remorse and apologised to him.

Speaking in an interview with Nana Romeo on Accra FM monitored by GhanaWeb, Prince David Osei indicated that LilWin’s attacks on Martha Ankoma were unnecessary because everyone is entitled to their opinion.

“After the video [of LilWin attacking Martha Ankomah] surfaced, I met him at a hotel in Dzorwulu and I reprimanded him for his actions. LilWin apologized and said it was not something intentional as perceived by the public.

“So, I advised him to let bygones be bygones. The truth is everybody is entitled to their opinion, so if she declines to partake in a movie that’s her business. I feel it all boils down to tolerance and accepting each other's opinions. There is no need to fight anyone due to their choices,” he said.

Background

According to the actress, LilWin without provocation on February 8, 2024, went on a social media tirade against her for allegedly consistently turning down offers from movie directors to feature in Kumawood - the Twi movie industry.
