Popular Kumawood actor and skitmaker Ebenezer Akwasi Antwi, popularly known as Ras Nene or Dr Likee, has courted attention after a video of his obituary posters emerged on social media.

In a video seen by YEN.com.gh, the comic actor and an associate were spotted holding copies of funeral posters, which contained the fake funeral and burial service date they had allegedly printed for an upcoming movie project.

The video of Dr Likee with his fake obituary posters initially sparked concern among Ghanaians, who thought that the Kumawood actor had sadly passed away.

In recent years, the comic actor has often engaged in outrageous public stunts for comic reasons. His stunts have regularly generated massive reactions on social media.

Dr Likee's public stunts

Recently, Dr Likee sparked laughter after he shared a photo of himself wearing a full AI robotic suit on the street in the Ashanti Region of Ghana.

The picture, taken on a calm residential street filled with beautiful houses and luxurious vehicles, showed the skitmaker confidently posing in what appeared to be homemade sci-fi body armour.

Dressed in a white and black suit that mimicked the look of a futuristic AI combat robot, he topped off the ensemble with a shiny black helmet and brown leather ankle boots with buckles.

In 2024, Dr Likee sent social media into a frenzy after he hinted at ending his acting career after returning from the UK with his protégé, Kyekyeku.

He and his colleagues, including Vivian Jill Lawrence, Nana Ama McBrown, Clemento Suarez, and Foster Romanus, participated in a stage play performance at gospel musician Nacee's Kavod concert at the Dominion Centre in London.

He explained that he was frustrated with the attitudes of some of his protégés, who do not listen to his advice.

Ras Nene disclosed that he had not uploaded any content to his YouTube channel for over a year and emphasised his need to focus on himself.

In a subsequent interview with blogger Poleeno Multimedia, Dr Likee dismissed claims that he had planned to retire from the movie industry.

"The way I jumped from my bed before I saw him😂😂😂."

Yogirl_is_Yabuasim commented:

"It is a movie saa na wawu."

The title and storyline of the movie remain under wraps, but knowing Dr Likee, we can assume the movie will be nothing short of hilarious moments. The production is expected to wrap by mid-2025, with a release date to be announced.

This isn't the first time Kumawood filmmakers have used bold tactics to promote their content. A few years back, actor Abraham Kofi Davis, popularly known as Salinko, pulled a similar publicity stunt. However, using a fake obituary poster, especially of a living person, raises questions about the line between creativity and cultural respect.

Speaking to Yen.com.gh, Social media expert Robertson Papafio Quaye, he spoke on the impact of these stunts and how they can be managed

“Shock marketing works online, but it has to be handled carefully when you’re dealing with something as sensitive as death. This could have been better managed with a disclaimer,” he said.

Dr Likee, who is known for his comedic skits and films, has yet to publicly comment on the incident.
