Kumawood actor and musician Kwadwo Nkansah, popularly known as Lilwin, has expressed frustration over the lack of recognition for his musical talents, stating that it’s time to celebrate himself since Ghanaians have refused to do so.
In an interview with Papadat on Lawson FM, Lilwin confidently declared that he is a musical gem, lamenting that industry players have sidelined him despite his efforts and achievements in the music industry.
“I’m doing extremely well as a musician, but sadly, the industry keeps trying so hard to ignore me,” Lilwin said, emphasizing his contributions to the entertainment scene beyond his acting career.
Lilwin attributed his inability to win awards, particularly at the prestigious TGMA, to favoritism in the industry.
He described the awards system as one driven by a “who-you-know” culture rather than merit.
“Instead of awarding entertainers who truly deserve it, the organizers prioritize those they know. That’s the problem with our industry,” he remarked.
The versatile entertainer didn’t shy away from touting his prowess as a performer. According to him, it’s impossible to mention five Ghanaian musicians who excel on stage without including his name.
