Agya Koo and LilWin
Veteran Kumawood actor, Agya Koo, has hit back at Kwadwo Nkansah, popularly known as LilWin, after the latter claimed in a recent interview that Agya Koo has been “unseated” as the reigning king of the Kumawood movie industry.
LilWin’s remarks, which have been circulating widely on social media, saw him allegedly declare himself the “King of Movies,” asserting that Agya Koo had moved on from acting and was now focused on podcasting and live band performances.
According to LilWin, the throne now belongs to him.
In a swift response on X, Agya Koo dismissed the claim and accused LilWin of seeking validation outside Ghana rather than establishing his dominance at home.
“I’ve transitioned to live band and I’m loving it,” he wrote. “You’re also making music, and I’m proud to have inspired many actors and actresses, including you. Just that you make noise on beat like one Bantama Kwenkwen seller bi.”
Taking further aim, Agya Koo questioned LilWin’s self-proclaimed status: “You claim your time is now? Nigerian movies weren’t widely accepted in Ghana during my time, but my movies were the talk of the town. You’re chasing recognition in Nigeria, yet you’re calling yourself king? Keep pushing the boundaries of art, but stop making noise, Actor Kwame.”
In a series of follow-up posts, the seasoned actor didn’t hold back. “Discipline means doing things the right way, even when you’re tired or don’t feel like it,” he wrote, alongside a goat emoji—often symbolising “Greatest of All Time.”
He went on to add, “Lol. He’s throwing subliminals and claiming he has it all? Having money isn’t everything. I’ve never sought his help or approval, so why the sudden need to prove himself to me? Akoa wei paa.”
Agya Koo capped off the tirade with a boast about his legacy: “I’ve built a legacy that’ll outlast him—350 years?
However, by Wednesday, the actor returned to X to issue a toned-down apology. “I’m sorry for my actions yesterday,” he posted. “I just had to put my schoolboy in his place, and I think now he has learnt something. No hard feelings.”
