He opined that Portia Asare's personal experiences might have shaped her viewpoints about the ills in the movie business.

He said:

"I would like to plead with people not to suppress others when they come out to express their feelings. We are all mature adults. If it is white, I won't say it is black. Only she (Portia Asare) knows what she has seen or heard. That is why she made those comments."

"People envy and hate me. Some people had a meeting and paid others to insult me on social media."
