Netizens slam LilWin over insensitive comment made against Lumba

Ghanaian Kumawood actor, LilWin, has come under heavy backlash on social media following an utterance made about the demise of one of Ghana’s Highlife legends, Daddy Lumba.

In a video making waves on social media on July 29, 2025, LilWin expressed dissatisfaction with the Creative Arts Agency (CAA) for planning to stage a vigil night for the late musician, the same day he is premiering his movie.

According to LilWin, the Creative Arts Agency should have been considerate by fixing a date that would not conflict with his movie premiere.

“I am pained that everyone has heard about my movie, and the Creative Arts Agency decided to fix Daddy Lumba‘s vigil night on the same day I am premiering my movie.

“They have already fixed the date, so there is nothing I can do. All I can do is go ahead and do it. I would also premiere my movie,” he said.

Reacting to LilWin’s statement, netizens have taken to social media to lambast the Kumawood actor, describing his statement as insensitive and unnecessary.

An account on X with username @Inkredible_B noted, “What’s the political and social impact of this nonsense movie he’s produced? Kwasia, he’s enjoying democracy, yet he went ahead to produce a movie about a military dictator.”

Another netizen also recounted the controversies surrounding LilWin, adding that he is fond of having feuds with fellow industry players.

“From beefing Kwaku Manu, Agya Koo, Likee kyekyeku to a legend who’s no more… Small time, Kojo go tear chain.”

A socialite also noted, “This guy is so foolish. Does he think Ghana revolves around him?”
