=In an interview with Zionfelix TV after the event, Likee said the sacrifice was deliberate because he wanted the show to happen to inspire others.

"When I return to Ghana, I won't even have a car to sit in," he said.

Dr Likee had a sold-out show in the UK on Friday, May 22, 2026, dubbed "Dr. Likee Live – A Night of Comedy, Music & Stage Play", with Nana Ama McBrown, Emelia Brobbey, and others in performing.

However, colleague actor, Kwadwo Nkansah 'Lil Win', emerged in an interview claiming Likee's show had been sponsored by an unnamed businessman, and that he had originally been billed to be on the show, but taken off because one of the organisers had an issue with him.

Lil Win's claims were refuted by Likee's associate, Papa Kumasi, who disclosed that the show had been self-sponsored, adding that Likee had sold his car to conclude preparations for the show.

Dr Likee's interview thus confirms Papa Kumasi's earlier disclosure that he had sacrificed so much to get the show done and also subtly refuted Lil Win's claims.

Speaking further with Zionfelix, the actor noted that his financial strain was compounded by the loss of his wallet in the UK.

According to him, the said wallet contained over £3,000 and other currencies, including US dollars and Ghana cedis, along with bank cards and a SIM card. He appealed to the public for help in recovering it.

Lil Win named Royal Foam ambassador

Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that Lil Win had officially been unveiled as the brand ambassador for Royal Foam.

The deal came directly on the heels of a massive "fake mattress saga," where consumers shared local sub-standard factories were stuffing mattress covers with hard industrial styrofoam.

Lilwin effectively engineered the entire national conversation by creating the viral catchphrase "Twa Wo Foam" (Cut Your Mattress) after slicing open his own bed on camera.
