Dr Likee said he was focused solely on making money and helping upcoming talents flourish in the industry, stating that he was unbothered by accolades or receiving recognition for his contribution to the sector.
"I have not asked anyone to refer to be as the saviour of Kumawood. My only concern is the street. The day they reject me is the day I will cry. Apart from the streets, my aid is to get young talent in traffic and produce a movie with them so that they can also become a star. That's all I care about. I'm not concerned about the conversation about who saved the industry or not," he said.
