Meanwhile, Ameyaw Debrah, a popular Ghanaian entertainment pundit, has criticised Ghanaian artistes who have called out celebrity lookalikes and described them as impersonators.

In an exclusive interview with YEN.com.gh on Thursday, April 19, 2023, Ameyaw said lookalikes were doing nothing wrong because it was clear that they were not real artistes.

"When Michael Jackson was alive, there were many MJ impersonators that performed in his name and image as impersonators, and they still do alongside Elvis [Presley]," he said.

"Being a lookalike doesn't automatically mean impersonation. But when they start acting or performing like the celebrities then we can say they are impersonating them." he added.

The founder of Ameyaw Debrah.com went on to urge lookalikes to create personas that their audience would love and grow with if they wanted to be relevant for a long time.
