Zack GH, the former manager of renowned Kumawood actor Kwadwo Nkansah, popularly known as Lilwin, has accused the actor of being self-centered and unsupportive of emerging talent in the Ghanaian film industry.
Speaking in a recent interview, Zack voiced his frustration over what he described as Lilwin's tendency to prioritize his own interests at the expense of others. According to him, Lilwin has failed to uplift new actors—despite receiving significant support from industry pioneers during his own rise to fame.
Zack pointed to Lilwin’s latest film, Mr. President, as an example of this behavior. He criticized the actor for casting himself in the lead role, despite not being well-suited for the character.
“Even though the role didn’t suit him, he still chose to play it simply because he produced the movie,” Zack stated.
He argued that Lilwin’s decision to star in the film was influenced more by his authority as a producer than by merit. Zack urged him to learn from Nigerian filmmakers, who he claims are more open to giving fresh talent the opportunity to lead major roles.
The interview has stirred reactions across social media, sparking a broader conversation about nepotism, gatekeeping, and the need for greater collaboration in Ghana’s entertainment industry. Many fans and critics alike are debating whether Lilwin’s approach helps or hinders the growth of Kumawood.
