Big Akwes pointed out that Lil Win was at the peak of his career during the golden days of Kumawood when his style made him a household name.

The actor argued that Lil Win's relevance had diminished as the Kumawood industry declined in recent years.

According to Big Akwes, the rise of digital platforms like YouTube reshaped the entertainment industry, creating new stars and shifting audience preferences.

He claimed that Dr Likee has capitalised on this shift, using his presence on YouTube to gain immense popularity, which has put him ahead of Lil Win.
