Ghanaian Kumawood actor Big Akwes has sparked controversy with remarks about life in Kumasi, alleging that everyone born and raised in the city is involved in scamming.
In an interview on Angel TV, he claimed that many people in Kumasi, from leaders to everyday citizens, including pastors, engage in fraudulent activities, suggesting that it’s a widespread way of life in the city.
“Anyone born and grown up in Kumasi is a scammer; I insist on what I say. I’m saying that everyone, from the leadership to the lowest person, including pastors, are scammers.
Because if you check the young boys at Kejetia, can’t you see what they do to people’s phones?… What I am saying doesn’t have anything to do with the TV station,” he asserted.
In the same interview, Big Akwes denied rumours of a marital relationship with Freda, the ex-wife of another actor, clarifying that he had never married her.
“I have done nothing to her, and I don’t remember ever marrying her. I don’t want to discuss this because I have international partners watching, and it could jeopardise plans. If you want more details, you should ask Freda, not me,” he responded.
Ghanaian Kumawood actor Akwasi Asamoah, widely known as Big Akwes, has responded to recent statements made by his ex-wife, Freda, who claimed that marrying him stands as her greatest regret.
In his subtle reply, Big Akwes acknowledged the remarks surrounding their past relationship. The pair exchanged vows in a private ceremony in Kumasi in August 2023.
However, their marriage was short-lived, as they decided to part ways a few months later due to ongoing challenges within their union.
