Last year, the actor crashed his customised Mercedes-Benz while en route to a promotional interview for the film, which was released last year.

The accident led to the death of a three-year-old boy, plunging him into an abyss of legal woes and attracting criticism from Ghanaians.

The negative PR from his accident affected the movie's traction, forcing him to hold off on some premiere events he had planned.

In a recent interview, Lil Win stated that he had been on his way to becoming a billionaire when the accident occurred.

Speaking to Zionfelix, Lil Win expressed regret and also a belief that the accident was God-sent to teach him certain important life lessons.

"Only the Accra premiere made waves across nations. In Kumasi, we didn't finish. But the movie still got several global awards. Next month, the film will be in cinemas across Nigeria. Imagine if God never sent the accident my way; I would have been a billionaire."

Despite the setback Lil Win emphasised that he did not lose and would have still been the biggest winner even if the movie doesn't sell out in the cinemas.
