Lil Win Makes Touching Appeal to Mahama Over Movie Industry Issues, Video Evokes Sorrow

• Kumawood actor Lil Win has triggered reactions online after a video of him lashing out at television stations went viral
• It all happened as he accused them of derailing efforts to grow the movie industry by showing movies without consent
• Netizens who took to the comments section of the video have shared varied opinions on the actions of the Ghanaian actor

Kumawood actor Lil Win has once again expressed frustration regarding happenings in the movie industry.

This comes after he took to social media to draw President John Mahama's attention to the actions of some people he believes are thwarting efforts to revamp the movie industry.

In a video sighted by YEN.com.gh on his TikTok page on March 20, 2026, the actor lamented that some Ghanaian television stations were airing his movies without his consent.

According to him, while this was going on, the same media houses had no issue paying to show foreign movies on their platforms.

“I will want to say to His Excellency John Mahama that there are things happening which are painful and not right. We produce movies back to back in a bid to ensure that we revive the movie industry so TV stations can buy the movies and show them, but that is not the case.”

“In this case, we opted to air the movies on YouTube; however, some Ghanaian stations pick the movies and show them without informing us.”

At the time of writing the report, the video had gained over 1,000 likes and 52 comments.

Reactions to Lil Win's anger over movies

Social media users who took to the comments section of the video have supported him in his call for authorities to intervene in the matter, which is negatively impacting the Ghanaian movie industry.

Yaw Dwarkwaa stated:

“I support Lil Win on his advocacy 100%. Can you just imagine seeing a movie you probably spent millions of cedis on being aired on a television station, knowing very well that the media house did not receive authorisation from you to do so? I think the time has come for the state to get involved and end this before it is too late. My appeal to these stations is that if you want the movie so badly, pay to get it. Simple as that.”

BARBERLIFE69 opined:

“Please, if you post it on YouTube, make it in such a way that you can watch but you can’t download.”

Joseph Kombat added:

“Mr Lil Win is a very hardworking man, and I love his lifestyle. God bless him for producing those movies.”
