Agya Koo, also known as veteran Ghanaian actor Alexander Kofi Adu, has finally responded to the accusations made against him by his colleague Mr Beautiful.
In recent interviews, Mr Beautiful blamed Agya Koo for the decline of the Kumawood movie industry.
He claimed that the veteran actor had a monopoly and was influential in making significant decisions related to movie production, which negatively impacted the once-thriving Kumawood industry.
Additionally, according to Mr. Beautiful, Agya Koo plotted with a number of film producers, including Miracle Films, to prevent him from appearing in their productions and harm his acting career.
In an interview with Lawson Radio, Agya Koo described how he first met Mr. Beautiful when he was a part of the late Bob Santo and his friend Judas's group and joined the cast of the Kristo Asafo Concert Party program.
The legendary actor shared that Mr Beautiful had no acting experience before joining the weekly show in Kumasi. Agya Koo said he had a good relationship with his colleague during their time on the movie screens and never mistreated or tarnished his reputation.
He noted that Mr Beautiful had been making sabotage allegations against him since he and some movie producers fell out several years ago.
According to the comedian, Mr. Beautiful once accused him of promising not to appear in any films with Fante stars.
He claims that Mr. Beautiful tried to discredit him and force him out of the business so he could play the lead in numerous motion picture productions. Despite the many accusations, Agya Koo revealed that he remained close to Mr. Beautiful, who periodically visited his house to hang around.
