Dr Likee Fires Back at Bill Asamoah Over 'Kumawood Saviour' Remark
The Kumawood movie industry has been abuzz recently after Bill Asamoah, one of its leading actors, made comments about the so-called 'Kumawood saviour,' seemingly directed at popular comic actor Dr Likee, also known as Ras Nene. The remarks have sparked a heated exchange, with Dr Likee responding boldly and passionately.
In a recent interview, Bill Asamoah hinted that some individuals within the Kumawood space have been falsely credited with reviving the industry. Although he did not explicitly name Dr Likee, the latter’s prominence on YouTube and digital platforms as a major content creator has made him a focal point of such discussions.
Dr Likee, known for his witty comedy skits and growing influence among Ghanaians, did not take the comments lightly. Speaking in a counter-interview, he stated that his efforts have introduced a new wave of Kumawood fans through the digital space, helping to sustain the industry’s relevance. He further emphasized that his work is not intended to compete with traditional actors but to complement their legacy.
“I respect the veterans, but the truth is, times have changed. The internet has given us a new platform, and I am using it to entertain people and keep the Kumawood brand alive. If this is what they call saving the industry, then so be it,” Dr Likee asserted.
He also encouraged unity within the industry, urging senior actors like Bill Asamoah to embrace innovation rather than create divisions. "Kumawood belongs to all of us. Instead of pointing fingers, let’s support each other to move forward," he added.
The back-and-forth has reignited debates about the future of Kumawood, especially in a digital age where traditional cinema struggles to compete with online content. Fans have taken sides, with many praising Dr Likee for bringing a fresh perspective to Kumawood’s storytelling. Others, however, believe the industry should stick to its roots and rely on the experienced actors who built its foundation.
As the conversation continues, one thing is clear—Kumawood is evolving, and personalities like Dr Likee are at the forefront of this transformation. Whether he is the ‘saviour’ or not, his impact on the industry is undeniable, and his response to Bill Asamoah’s comments only solidifies his position as a force to reckon with.
