Van Vicker’s supposed rejection of the role led to Lil Win recruiting several Nigerian talents, including Ramsey Nouah, to appear in his film.

However, responding to the allegation on Hello FM, Van Vicker debunked the allegation.

He said he had not outright rejected the chance to feature in Lil Win’s A Country Called Ghana.

According to him, he was willing to take the role; however, a seemingly unreasonable demand from the film producer caused him to reject the offer.

He explained that when Lil Win reached out to him, he had expressed interest in the role.

However, Lil Win had demanded that Van Vicker, currently in school, set aside a whole month for the film shoot.

Considering his academic obligations, Van Vicker felt the demand was unreasonable and had proposed spending just ten days on set for the movie.

He said Lil Win rejected the 10-day offer and insisted on the 30 days.

After several back-and-forths, Van Vicker said he had to relinquish the role.

Interestingly, Van Vicker said after tracking the film’s progress via social media, he noticed that Ramsey Nouah had spent about ten days on the film set.

He said he was disappointed that Lil Win did not accept his 10-day proposal and instead gave the role to someone else and further told everyone that he had outright rejected the role.

He believes Lil Win could have made the concession he made for Ramsey Nouah when he had proposed it initially.
