Actor, Kwadwo Nkansah “Lil Win,” has launched a strong critique against Ghanaian television stations, accusing them of unauthorized streaming of his and other local filmmakers’ productions.
In a trending video, the actor issued a stern warning to executives of these television stations.
He accused them of disrespecting Ghanaian content creators’ intellectual property rights while investing heavily in foreign productions, particularly Asian soap operas.
Lil Win voiced his frustration over the significant financial resources Ghanaian television stations allocate to acquiring and promoting foreign series.
He cited the immense popularity of Indian soap operas like “Kumkum Bhagya,” to the extent that the Multimedia Group even hosted its cast in Ghana.
He questioned the apparent disparity in investment, asking why similar effort and financial backing are not directed towards supporting and showcasing Ghanaian film projects.
“If TV stations can pay to air Indian soap operas, why can’t they invest in our local movies for their audiences?”
Lil Win passionately questioned, highlighting the perceived undervaluation of local content.
