The statement signed by his PR team, Okyeame Akwadaa Nyame, apologised for any unintended distress the words in the previous statement might have caused.

"As Lil Win and our artist manager, Ray Moni, continue to receive treatment at the Accident Emergency Unit of Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, our thoughts are with them for a speedy recovery," the new statement said, which Lil Win shared on his Instagram page.

This comes after many Ghanaians and celebrities, including Comedienne Afia Schwarzenegger and media personality Bridget Ottoo, called for Lil Win's arrest after his alleged reckless driving claimed one life, and he failed to acknowledge that in his previous statement.

Meanwhile, in the same statement, Lil Win's management, Wezzy Empire, postponed the movie premiere of A Country Called Ghana in Sunyani on June 1, 2024.

The statement ended with Lil Win mourning the passing of the three-year-old boy Nana Yaw with a hashtag and another wishing Nana Yaw's father, Ray Moni, a speedy recovery and Lil Win's bouncer, Jacob, a speedy recovery.
