Last night’s episode of United Showbiz on UTV with MzGee witnessed a heated exchange between actor and producer, Nkansah Lilwin, and entertainment critic, Mr. Logic, over the state of the Ghanaian movie industry.
Nkansah Lilwin, who was on the show to promote his upcoming movie, ‘A Country Called Ghana’, slated for premiere in Accra, Kumasi, and Sunyani, made some comments that sparked the controversy. He attributed the struggles of the Ghanaian movie industry to the actions of some industry players, mentioning Mr. Logic’s name in the process.
Interestingly, Nkansah Lilwin’s movie features top Nigerian actors, including Ramsey Noah, Charles Awurum, and Victor Osuagwu, which he highlighted as an example of collaboration and cross-cultural exchange in the African movie industry.
Mr. Logic, taken aback by the mention of his name, fired back at Nkansah Lilwin, leading to a back-and-forth argument between the two. The tension was palpable as the two engaged in a war of words, with neither willing to back down.
The debate centered around the challenges facing the Ghanaian movie industry, with Nkansah Lilwin insisting that some industry players were sabotaging efforts to revitalize the industry. Mr. Logic, on the other hand, argued that the industry’s problems were more complex and multifaceted.
Despite attempts by the show’s host to intervene and calm the situation, the argument continued, with both parties sticking to their guns. The incident has sparked a lively debate on social media, with fans and industry insiders weighing in on the issues raised.
The Ghanaian movie industry has faced significant challenges in recent years, including piracy, lack of funding, and competition from foreign content. The incident on United Showbiz highlights the passion and frustration of industry players and the need for constructive dialogue to address the industry’s problems.
