The actor claimed he was the first Ghanaian actor to start producing movies specifically for YouTube. He pointed out that the platform pays well, allowing many young movie stars to earn good money.
According to Manu, this income not only sustained creators but also gave them the capacity to acquire properties. One such example is popular skit actor Kyekyeku, who recently purchased a brand new Hyundai Sonata thanks to revenue from YouTube.
