The Kumawood actor’s donation to Mr Twumasi comes a few weeks after the ailing actor and other veterans, including Grace Nortey, Naana Hayford and Paa George, were honoured by the Ashanti Regional Minister, Dr Frank Amoakohene, as part of the maiden edition of the Ashanti Festival (AshantiFest) event, which began on Saturday, April 12, 2025, and concluded on Saturday, April 26, 2025.

The ailing actor received a citation from the minister in recognition of his immense contribution to the growth of the Kumawood movie industry.

The Ashanti Regional Minister also came up with the initiative to provide support for the neglected veteran actors who were experiencing challenges after their stint in the industry.

Kwaku Twumasi’s health challenges

Kwaku Twumasi has been battling health issues since he was struck by a mild stroke, which left him bedridden for over four years.

The veteran actor now has difficulty walking, although he can talk like any normal person. In an old interview, he shared that the period of his illness was a hard time for him, but his family was so supportive, singling out his wife for praise.

He said he had suspended his acting career due to his health condition, but continues to direct and produce movies.

Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh on Lil Win's donation

Speaking to YEN.com.gh, entertainment analyst Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh shared his thoughts on Lil Win's donation to his ailing colleague Kwaku Twumasi and how important it is for celebrities to step in and help colleagues who are facing health challenges, especially within the entertainment industry.

He said:

"Lil Win needs to be commended for such an act. It rarely happens, and he has done really well. However, such models are not sustainable as we keep getting actors entering such states with little or no support. Creatives need a system that allows them to be taken care of in case of issues."
