Ghanaian Kumawood actor LilWin
Ghanaian actor and entertainer Kwadwo Nkansah, popularly known as LilWin, has stirred up a storm over the viral hit song Honourable Waawe, which gained massive attention following the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) loss to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the 2024 elections.
LilWin has firmly claimed ownership of the track, asserting that the idea behind it was stolen from him.
In a recent interview, the multi-talented star expressed his frustration, alleging that De Thompson, the musician behind the song, had profited off his intellectual property without offering due credit.
“The concept of Honourable Waawe is mine. I wrote and composed it in spirit before De Thompson physically crafted it. It’s disappointing that my idea was taken and used without my acknowledgment,” he said.
The controversy deepened when the show host questioned the basis of LilWin’s claim. The host pointed out that the term Honourable Waawe had only appeared in a film where LilWin played a lead role. In response, the actor stood his ground.
“That film was where I first introduced the term. It’s my creative property, and just because someone put it into a song doesn’t mean they own the idea. The entire inspiration came from me, and the musician ran with it.”
