Entertainment pundit and broadcaster Baaba Cann has fired shots at actor and comedian Kwadwo Nkansah LilWin, raising serious concerns about what she describes as a troubling pattern of behaviour that is beginning to cast a shadow over his standing in Ghana’s showbiz space.
Speaking on Peace FM’s Entertainment Review on Tuesday, June 2, Baaba Cann pulled no punches, alleging that LilWin is steadily becoming a disruptive presence in the industry — not through his craft, but through what she characterised as a deeply-rooted habit of undermining the success of his colleagues.
At the centre of her criticism was LilWin’s reported reaction to actor/comedian Dr. Likee’s recent sell-out London show — an event that generated significant excitement among fans and industry watchers alike. According to Baaba Cann, rather than acknowledging the milestone, LilWin made remarks about the show that drew swift backlash from entertainment followers and sparked fresh debate about his conduct.
“This is not the first time,” she insisted, stressing that LilWin has exhibited similar behaviour on multiple occasions over the years — appearing visibly uncomfortable whenever a peer reaches a new professional height.
Baaba Cann was equally forceful in her prescription: LilWin must have an urgent rethink. She argued that comments of this nature do nothing to advance the industry and only serve to breed unnecessary tension within a space that thrives on collective goodwill. In her view, the mark of a true industry figure is not in how loudly they celebrate themselves, but in how generously they celebrate others.
The broadcaster’s remarks have since amplified an already simmering conversation — one centred on professionalism, healthy competition, and whether entertainers are doing enough to lift each other up rather than pull each other down.
What LilWin Said:
In the wake of Dr. Likee’s sold-out show at Indigo at The O2 in London, fellow comedian and actor Kwadwo Nkansah LilWin made a series of comments that ignited debate across Ghana’s entertainment circles.
LilWin reportedly cast doubt on the financial independence of the event, suggesting it had been underwritten by an unnamed businessman rather than being entirely self-funded. He also claimed he had originally been lined up to appear on the bill but was dropped after one of the organisers developed a personal grievance against him.

Those close to Dr. Likee were quick to push back. Actor Papa Kumasi firmly defended the show’s financial integrity, insisting it was self-sponsored. Dr. Likee himself added weight to that position by revealing he had sold his personal car to help bankroll the event — a disclosure widely read as a direct rebuttal to LilWin’s insinuations.
Further stoking the controversy was a separate remark attributed to LilWin, in which he reportedly cautioned against comparing Dr. Likee to him, describing himself as a “legend” and asserting that Dr. Likee was simply “not on my level.” The comment landed poorly on social media and drew sharp criticism from entertainment commentators who viewed it as needlessly dismissive of a peer’s accomplishment.
It was the cumulative weight of these statements — particularly those seemingly aimed at diminishing the significance of Dr. Likee’s London milestone — that drew the strongest condemnation from voices like Baaba Cann and others, who argued that such remarks were unwarranted and unbecoming toward a colleague’s hard-earned achievement.
As Ghana’s entertainment industry continues to gain continental and global traction, voices like Baaba Cann’s are increasingly insistent that internal unity is not optional — it is a prerequisite for the kind of sustained growth the industry deserves.
