Ghanaian actor Big Akwes has issued a public apology following national uproar over disturbing comments he made about singer Cina Soul during a controversial TV segment. His remarks, which many interpreted as a violent threat, prompted fierce condemnation from viewers and sparked a social media storm.
The incident unfolded during an entertainment segment on Bryt TV, where Akwes was asked to participate in a light-hearted game involving hypothetical romantic decisions. However, what was expected to be playful quickly escalated when the actor described, in unsettling detail, how he would end Cina Soul’s life. His remarks included spiritual references and violent imagery, shocking audiences and drawing swift public criticism.
Cina Soul, clearly alarmed, took to social media on July 1 to raise concerns about her safety. She called on authorities—including the Ghana Police Service and relevant ministers—to address what she viewed as a serious threat. Her post generated widespread support and reignited discussions about media responsibility and public safety.
In response to the backlash, Bryt TV brought Big Akwes back on air to address the controversy. The actor insisted that his remarks had been intended as humor, not a genuine threat. While defending the context as comedic, he expressed regret over the impact of his words, particularly on Cina Soul and her family, and asked for forgiveness.
The television station also responded, issuing a formal apology. They acknowledged the public outcry and stated that they were committed to responsible broadcasting. The network’s statement emphasized their intent to ensure that future content aligns with public standards and avoids similar missteps.
Meanwhile, Cina Soul’s concerns highlighted broader issues about what is acceptable in entertainment programming, especially when it involves potentially threatening language on public platforms. The incident has sparked calls for tighter regulation and accountability in media, especially when content strays into harmful territory disguised as comedy.
