- Kumawood actor and producer Lilwin has publicly expressed regret over recent outbursts aimed at fellow industry players, including actress Emelia Brobbey.
- His comments, made ahead of his movie premiere in Sunyani, accused colleagues of hypocrisy and sabotage.
- Following the successful launch of Captain Ibrahim Traoré: The Last African Hero, Lilwin admitted that stress and lack of support had pushed him to react harshly.
- He now says he wishes he had handled things differently.
Lilwin’s latest film may have earned international recognition, but the road to its premiere was anything but smooth — emotionally, at least.
In the weeks leading up to the Sunyani debut of Captain Ibrahim Traoré: The Last African Hero, the Kumawood star found himself at odds with some of his colleagues. Frustrated by what he saw as a lack of support and subtle sabotage, he lashed out publicly, calling out hypocrisy within the industry and accusing actress Emelia Brobbey of undermining his efforts.
The tension peaked after Emelia interviewed Sandra Ababio — Lilwin’s close friend — on her talk show. The actor felt the conversation veered into territory that was unhelpful and ill-timed, especially with his premiere around the corner.
But now, with the movie successfully launched and receiving praise, Lilwin has taken a step back. In a video shared online, he acknowledged that the pressure of promoting the film, combined with constant criticism, had pushed him to react in ways he regrets.
He admitted that the emotional toll of feeling unsupported — especially by those he considered allies — made him defensive and combative. With the premiere behind him, he’s now asking for understanding and hoping to move forward without lingering resentment.
The moment marks a shift in tone for the Wezzy Empire CEO, who has often been outspoken but now seems more reflective. As his film continues to gain traction, Lilwin appears ready to let go of the drama and refocus on the work that got him here.
