A video of popular Ghanaian actor and musician LilWin recording a song from his hospital bed with rapper Kwaku Flick has ignited heated discussions online.
The video, which has gone viral, shows the two artists collaborating on a track that appears to address the backlash following LilWin’s recent car accident.
The accident resulted in the death of a three-year-old boy and LilWin’s own hospitalization.
Announcing the new track on Instagram, LilWin expressed gratitude and reflected on the incident: “Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. On May 25, 2024, I was in a terrible accident with my manager @ray_moni, resulting in the loss of a young life. Rest in perfect peace, Nana Yaw.”
He continued, “I pray that the good Lord grants your parents another child to fulfill your destiny. To all my fans, thank you for your prayers. Special thanks to @kwekuflick @kingpalutamusic & @apyagh for this project.”
The announcement has sparked outrage among some netizens who accuse LilWin of insensitivity toward the deceased child’s family.
Critics argue that his attendance at a movie premiere shortly after the accident was more about garnering sympathy than addressing the tragedy’s impact.
LilWin is currently embroiled in legal proceedings related to the accident, with his case under review by the Attorney General’s office.
After being detained initially at Okomfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, he was later granted bail and transferred to a police station.
